(This is based off of my subcommand branch, as it requires access to the parent command.)
This commit provides the ability for a sub-command to track the value of a parent's option and override it locally. For example, if the app has a
verbose
option, and the sub-command also has averbose
option with theinherit
attribute set,results in subcommand's
verbose
option equal to 3 whilesets subcommand's
verbose
option to 20.There's no documentation yet; the classes in
t/inherit.t
illustrate the concept.It can easily be updated to incorporate a future metadata API.
