Would there be any interest in a next generation CliBuilder that is based on [picocli][1] instead of commons-cli?
This would enable new features like: * support for nested [subcommands][2] * strongly typed [positional parameters][3] * command line [autocompletion][4] * [ANSI colors][5] in usage help message Picocli is actively maintained and developed. The next major release (3.0) includes a [programmatic API][6] in addition to the annotations API. If there is any interest, I would be happy to do the work to develop, create tests and document such a next generation CliBuilder (CliBuilder2?). I was thinking to try to make the API very similar to the current CliBuilder to facilitate user migration, but I am open to suggestions. Thoughts?
