The groovy.cli.Option annotation currently has three attributes for modeling the number of arguments (arity) of an option:
- boolean optionalArg() default false - int numberOfArguments() default 1 - String numberOfArgumentsString() default "" Are we open to changing this to a single attribute where the number of arguments can be expressed as a range? For example, "0..1" for a single optional argument, "0..*" (or simply "*") for an option with any number of arguments, "1..*" (or "+") for one or more arguments. This would also allow users specifying ranges like "2..4" for an option that has at least 2 but at most 4 arguments. Having a single attribute instead of three is cleaner and simpler IMO. Is it too late to make this change? Thoughts?
