The command definition node
The names to ignore
A command definition node can indicate any arbitrary field be "passed on" to it's children. The intention is to provide convienence for the coder of definition document, when they want to apply the same attributes (such as reading from stdin OR which profiles are required) to all of its decedents.
the original command document
the current set of attributes/fields being "passed on" - if a "pass on" specification is found in a child document, it overwrites the parents (takes precedence)
A copy of the original with all "passed on" fields.
Perform preliminary (or post prepared) basic validation of the command definition tree. Checks to ensure that absoultely necessary fields are populated and invalid combos are not present.
Note: The root command is a bit of a special case, and is immune to some validation - we can't have a name associated because that would cause an extra segment added in yargs.

Perform basic option operand validation. Ensure that the option operands are valid and well formed.

Perform basic positional operand validation. Ensure that the positional operands are valid and well formed.

If the "passOn" specification does not indicate a value, we will extract the value/trait from the parent and populate the "passOn" value. This allows parents to pass on their own properties/traits.
the full definition tree
Prepare the command definition and apply any pass on traits to children. After a definition has been prepared, it should be considered final.
