Add CommandGroup for commands with both subcommands and a default fallback#98
Conversation
…lback CommandGroup holds two sibling Command objects: a default (with --run) and a commands (with subcommands). When arguments match a named subcommand, dispatch goes there; otherwise the default command handles them. Each command has independent options — no inheritance between them. This enables CLIs like `toit` to accept both `toit run foo.toit` (explicit subcommand) and `toit foo.toit` (default fallback) with separate options for each path. Also adds --completion-as-flag parameter to Command.run for explicit control over whether completion uses a subcommand or flag.
