+/// The argument parser is responsible for grouping positional arguments into
+/// argument groups, which consist of a path to a recipe and its arguments.
+///
+/// Argument parsing is substantially complicated by the fact that recipe paths
+/// can be given on the command line as multiple arguments, i.e., "foo" "bar"
+/// baz", or as a single "::"-separated argument.
+///
+/// Error messages produced by the argument parser should use the format of the
+/// recipe path as passed on the command line.
+///
+/// Additionally, if a recipe is specified with a "::"-separated path, extra
+/// components of that path after a valid recipe must not be used as arguments,
+/// whereas arguments after multiple argument path may be used as arguments. As
+/// an example, `foo bar baz` may refer to recipe `foo::bar` with argument
+/// `baz`, but `foo::bar::baz` is an error, since `bar` is a recipe, not a
+/// module.
