How to disable default Global Arguments (especially -o)? #246

Description

I have a command accepting argument --output-path, and I set its options_list also accept "-o", but it does not work, conflict with the default global argument. It means we can't use --output and -o for our commands.

Question:

  1. How to disable Global Arguments, at least for "--output", "-o", or even "--query"?

More details:
with ArgumentsContext(self, "config fetch") as arg_context:
arg_context.argument("output", type=str, options_list=("-o", "--output-path"))

When I tried it, it reports conflict error:
$ mycli config fetch -o test.json
argument -o/--output-path: conflicting option string: -o

and only this option works:
$ mycli config fetch --output-path test.json

$ mycli config fetch -h

Command
mycli config fetch

Arguments
--output-path : Default: my_config.json.

Global Arguments
--debug : Increase logging verbosity to show all debug logs.
--help -h : Show this help message and exit.
--only-show-errors : Only show errors, suppressing warnings.
--output -o : Output format. Allowed values: json, jsonc, none, table, tsv, yaml, yamlc.
Default: json.
--query : JMESPath query string. See http://jmespath.org/ for more information and
examples.
--verbose : Increase logging verbosity. Use --debug for full debug logs.
