Please complete the following tasks

Clap Version

4.4.8

Describe your use case

I'm building an app which compares two commits on a GitHub repo. I want to support users either passing rev1 and rev2 for comparison or I want them to be able to pass the pr number. So, in terms of clap Usage text I'd have something like

<--rev1 <REV1> --rev2 <REV2> | --pr <PR>>

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like to be able to combine ArgGroup and required statements in such a way as to accomplish the above.

Alternatives, if applicable

I believe this is a duplicate of #5041. Closing in favor of that. If there is something I missed, let us know!

Thanks, @epage . My concern is a bit different than #5041 . My concern is around the generated usage text, not the runtime evaluation of the provided arguments.

Could you add a minimal reproduction case of the situation you are interested in and contrast the existing behavior with the behavior you would want?
