package cmdlang

The internal representation for the EDSL used by the cmdlang library.

Cmdlang doesn't include an execution engine. Instead, Cmdlang parsers are automatically translated to `cmdliner`, `core.command`, or `climate` commands for execution.

When you use the cmdlang library to define a command-line interface, you are effectively building a value of type Cmdlang_ast.Ast.Command.t. It is then converted internally to the targeted backend.

This module is not meant to be used directly by users of the library. Rather, users use the Cmdlang.Command interface which provides a high-level API meant to be ergonomic and user-friendly.

Cmdlang_ast is exposed to allow extending the library with new backends or to write analysis tools, etc.
