	Define argument flags.

	The key is the flag name in camel-case and the value is an object with any of:

	- `type`: Type of value. (Possible values: `string` `boolean` `number`)
	- `alias`: Usually used to define a short flag alias.
	- `default`: Default value when the flag is not specified.
	- `isRequired`: Determine if the flag is required.
		If it's only known at runtime whether the flag is required or not you can pass a Function instead of a boolean, which based on the given flags and other non-flag arguments should decide if the flag is required.
	- `isMultiple`: Indicates a flag can be set multiple times. Values are turned into an array. (Default: false)
		Multiple values are provided by specifying the flag multiple times, for example, `$ foo -u rainbow -u cat`. Space- or comma-separated values are *not* supported.

	Note that flags are always defined using a camel-case key (`myKey`), but will match arguments in kebab-case (`--my-key`).

	@example
	```
	flags: {
		unicorn: {
			type: 'string',
			alias: 'u',
			default: ['rainbow', 'cat'],
			isMultiple: true,
			isRequired: (flags, input) => {
				if (flags.otherFlag) {
					return true;
				}

				return false;
			}
