If there's going to be a 1:1 correspondence between option name and
argument type, a dictionary for that would be redundant. That doesn't
allow the granularity to say, "branch -r" takes a single revision,
"diff -r" can take a range, and "merge -r" can take a pair. In this
case, the real value is in presenting a description to a human;
autocompleting integers is a bit silly.
I'm more worried about things like --format and --root; are they always
going to take the same potential arguments regardless of subcommand?
If so, this can be done more easily.
