/**
* When applied to a field all of its child fields annotated with {@link Parameter} will be included
* during arguments parsing.
*
* Mainly useful when creating complex command based CLI interfaces, where several commands can
* share a set of arguments, but using object inheritance is not enough, due to
* no-multiple-inheritance restriction. Using {@link ParametersDelegate} any number of command sets
* can be shared by using composition pattern.
*
*
Delegations can be chained (nested).
