/// Family of related [arguments].
///
/// By placing arguments in a logical group, you can create easier requirement and
/// exclusion rules instead of having to list each argument individually, or when you want a rule
/// to apply "any but not all" arguments.
///
/// For instance, you can make an entire `ArgGroup` required. If [`ArgGroup::multiple(true)`] is
/// set, this means that at least one argument from that group must be present. If
/// [`ArgGroup::multiple(false)`] is set (the default), one and *only* one must be present.
///
/// You can also do things such as name an entire `ArgGroup` as a [conflict] or [requirement] for
/// another argument, meaning any of the arguments that belong to that group will cause a failure
/// if present, or must be present respectively.
///
/// Perhaps the most common use of `ArgGroup`s is to require one and *only* one argument to be
/// present out of a given set. Imagine that you had multiple arguments, and you want one of them
/// to be required, but making all of them required isn't feasible because perhaps they conflict
/// with each other. For example, lets say that you were building an application where one could
/// set a given version number by supplying a string with an option argument, i.e.
/// `--set-ver v1.2.3`, you also wanted to support automatically using a previous version number
/// and simply incrementing one of the three numbers. So you create three flags `--major`,
/// `--minor`, and `--patch`. All of these arguments shouldn't be used at one time but you want to
/// specify that *at least one* of them is used. For this, you can create a group.
///
/// Finally, you may use `ArgGroup`s to pull a value from a group of arguments when you don't care
/// exactly which argument was actually used at runtime.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// The following example demonstrates using an `ArgGroup` to ensure that one, and only one, of
/// the arguments from the specified group is present at runtime.
///
/// ```rust
/// # use clap_builder as clap;
/// # use clap::{Command, arg, ArgGroup, error::ErrorKind};
/// let result = Command::new("cmd")
/// .arg(arg!(--"set-ver" <ver> "set the version manually"))
/// .arg(arg!(--major "auto increase major"))
/// .arg(arg!(--minor "auto increase minor"))
/// .arg(arg!(--patch "auto increase patch"))
/// .group(ArgGroup::new("vers")
/// .args(["set-ver", "major", "minor", "patch"])
/// .required(true))
/// .try_get_matches_from(vec!["cmd", "--major", "--patch"]);
/// // Because we used two args in the group it's an error
/// assert!(result.is_err());
/// let err = result.unwrap_err();
/// assert_eq!(err.kind(), ErrorKind::ArgumentConflict);
/// ```
///
/// This next example shows a passing parse of the same scenario
/// ```rust
/// # use clap_builder as clap;
/// # use clap::{Command, arg, ArgGroup, Id};
/// let result = Command::new("cmd")
/// .arg(arg!(--"set-ver" <ver> "set the version manually"))
/// .arg(arg!(--major "auto increase major"))
/// .arg(arg!(--minor "auto increase minor"))
/// .arg(arg!(--patch "auto increase patch"))
/// .group(ArgGroup::new("vers")
/// .args(["set-ver", "major", "minor","patch"])
/// .required(true))
/// .try_get_matches_from(vec!["cmd", "--major"]);
/// assert!(result.is_ok());
/// let matches = result.unwrap();
/// // We may not know which of the args was used, so we can test for the group...
/// assert!(matches.contains_id("vers"));
/// // We can also ask the group which arg was used
/// assert_eq!(matches
/// .get_one::<Id>("vers")
/// .expect("`vers` is required")
/// .as_str(),
/// "major"
/// );
/// // we could also alternatively check each arg individually (not shown here)
