Arg represents optional and positional arguments, with the most essential use cases covered.
App represents a main command or a subcommand.
The fields are validated upon construction or setting, raising an Exception in case of any issues.
The parsing can be overridden by subclassing Arg.


Offers shell completion support if argcomplete is installed:

The required API calls are already in place. It is only required to install argcomplete and add the PYTHON_ARGCOMPLETE_OK comment to the script.
Specific completions are added automatically.
