    /// Adds a ArgGroups to the application. ArgGroups are a family of related arguments. By

    /// from that group must be present. Using more than one argument from an ArgGroup causes a
    /// failure (graceful exit).
    ///
    /// You can also do things such as name an ArgGroup as a confliction, meaning any of the
    /// arguments that belong to that group will cause a failure if present.
    ///
    /// Perhaps the most common use of ArgGroups is to require one and *only* one argument to be
    /// present out of a given set. For example, lets say that you were building an application
    /// where one could set a given version number by supplying a string using an option argument,
    /// such as `--set-ver v1.2.3`, you also wanted to support automatically using a previous
    /// version numer and simply incrementing one of the three numbers, so you create three flags
    /// `--major`, `--minor`, and `--patch`. All of these arguments shouldn't be used at one time
    /// but perhaps you want to specify that *at least one* of them is used. You can create a
    /// group
