""" Ancillary argparse HelpFormatter class that works on a similar way as argparse.RawDescriptionHelpFormatter, e.g. description maintains line breaks, but it also implement transformations to the help text. The actual transformations ar given by enrich_text(), if the output is tty. Currently, the follow transformations are done: - Positional arguments are shown in upper cases; - if output is TTY, ``var`` and positional arguments are shown prepended by an ANSI SGR code. This is usually translated to bold. On some terminals, like, konsole, this is translated into a colored bold text.
