"""
Ancillary argparse HelpFormatter class that works on a similar way as
argparse.RawDescriptionHelpFormatter, e.g. description maintains line
breaks, but it also implement transformations to the help text. The
actual transformations ar given by enrich_text(), if the output is tty.

Currently, the follow transformations are done:

    - Positional arguments are shown in upper cases;
    - if output is TTY, ``var`` and positional arguments are shown prepended
      by an ANSI SGR code. This is usually translated to bold. On some
      terminals, like, konsole, this is translated into a colored bold text.
