It works similarly to the auto command, but arguments get their inferred types based on the argument

### Command argument types
There are several default argument types that can be used directly without specifying custom types. Each argument can be
customized in the `'arguments'` section of the app config, specifying its base type, via `'type'` that needs
Argument types differ from actual argument names that the types are the suffixes of the used argument names, when separated with
`'_'` symbol. For example argument name `'from_pos'` will be interpreted as a built-in type `'int'` and provided to the command system
as a name `'from_pos'`, however if you define a custom type `'from_pos'`, your custom type will be used instead.
Longer suffixes take priority over shorter prefixes, then user defined suffixes mask build-in prefixes.

Each argument can be customized in the `'arguments'` section of the app config, specifying its base type, via `'type'` that needs
to match any of the built-in types, with a series of optional modifiers. Shared modifiers include:
* `suggest` - static list of suggestions to show above the command while typing
* `suggester` - function taking one map argument, indicating current state of attributes in the parsed command
