    Represents possible approaches to treat default values when inferring argument
    specification from function signature.

    * `BY_NAME_IF_KWONLY` is the default and recommended approach introduced
      in v0.30.  It enables fine control over two aspects:

      * positional vs named;
      * required vs optional.

      "Normal" arguments are identified by position, "kwonly" are identified by
      name, regardless of the presence of default values.  A positional with a
      default value becomes optional but still positional (``nargs=OPTIONAL``).
      A kwonly argument without a default value becomes a required named
      argument.

      Example::

          def func(alpha, beta=1, *, gamma, delta=2): ...

      is equivalent to::

          prog alpha [beta] --gamma [--delta DELTA]

      That is, ``alpha`` and ``--gamma`` are mandatory while ``beta`` and
      ``--delta`` are optional (they have default values).

    * `BY_NAME_IF_HAS_DEFAULT` is very close to the the legacy approach
      (pre-v0.30).  If a function argument has a default value, it becomes an
      "option" (called by name, like ``--foo``); otherwise it's treated as a
      positional argument.

      Example::

          def func(alpha, beta=1, *, gamma, delta=2): ...

      is equivalent to::

          prog [--beta BETA] [--delta DELTA] alpha gamma

      That is, ``alpha`` and ``gamma`` are mandatory and positional, while
      ``--beta`` and ``--delta`` are optional (they have default values).  Note
      that it's impossible to have an optional positional or a mandatory named
      argument.

      The difference between this policy and the behaviour of Argh before
      v0.30 is in the treatment of kwonly arguments without default values:
      they used to become ``--foo FOO`` (required) but for the sake of
      simplicity they are treated as positionals.  If you are already using
      kwonly args, please consider the better suited policy `BY_NAME_IF_KWONLY`
      instead.

    It is recommended to migrate any older code to `BY_NAME_IF_KWONLY`.

                    https://argh.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changes.html#version-0-30-0-2023-10-21

                    You need to upgrade your functions so that the arguments
                    that have default values become keyword-only:

                        f(x=1) -> f(*, x=1)

                    If you actually want an optional positional argument,
                    please set the name mapping policy explicitly to `BY_NAME_IF_KWONLY`.

                    If you choose to postpone the migration, you have two options:

                    a) set the policy explicitly to `BY_NAME_IF_HAS_DEFAULT`;
                    b) pin Argh version to 0.29 until you are ready to migrate.

    Adds given functions as commands to given parser.

    :param parser:

        an :class:`argparse.ArgumentParser` instance.

    :param functions:

        a list of functions. A subparser is created for each of them.
        If the function is decorated with :func:`~argh.decorators.arg`, the
        arguments are passed to :meth:`argparse.ArgumentParser.add_argument`.
        See also :func:`~argh.dispatching.dispatch` for requirements
        concerning function signatures. The command name is inferred from the
        function name. Note that the underscores in the name are replaced with
        hyphens, i.e. function name "foo_bar" becomes command name "foo-bar".

    :param name_mapping_policy:

        See :class:`argh.assembling.NameMappingPolicy`.

        .. versionadded:: 0.30

    :param group_name:

        an optional string representing the group of commands. For example, if
        a command named "hello" is added without the group name, it will be
        available as "prog.py hello"; if the group name if specified as "greet",
        then the command will be accessible as "prog.py greet hello". The
        group itself is not callable, so "prog.py greet" will fail and only
        display a help message.

    :param func_kwargs:

        a `dict` of keyword arguments to be passed to each nested ArgumentParser
        instance created per command (i.e. per function).  Members of this
        dictionary have the highest priority, so a function's docstring is
        overridden by a `help` in `func_kwargs` (if present).

    :param group_kwargs:

        a `dict` of keyword arguments to be passed to the nested ArgumentParser
        instance under given `group_name`.

    .. note::

        This function modifies the parser object. Generally side effects are
        bad practice but we don't seem to have any choice as ArgumentParser is
        pretty opaque.
        You may prefer :meth:`~argh.helpers.ArghParser.add_commands` for a bit
        more predictable API.

    .. note::

       An attempt to add commands to a parser which already has a default
       function (e.g. added with :func:`~argh.assembling.set_default_command`)
       results in `AssemblingError`.
