include subcommands #7

Hi, my program has subcommands that have their own extensive --help output.

command -h
command subcmd1 -h
command subcmd2 -h
command subcmd3 -h

Is there a quick way to tell cli2man to combine the outputs of all these commands into a single manpage? Or would this rather be a case where a seperate manpage for each of the programs should be made and then statet in the see-also section?

thanks and all the best Jojo

Pull requests are welcome.

At this point separate manpages would probably easier, but adding support for this feature is certainly not impossible, if someone wants to. I don't have time for this feature though, as I don't have a need for it currently.
