Originally, clap carried a lifetime parameter. When moving away from
that, we took the approach that dynamically generated strings are always
supported and
&'static str
was just an optimization.The problem is the code size increase from this is dramatic. So we're
taking the opposite approach and making dynamic formatting opt-in under
the
string
feature flag. When deciding on an implementation, Ifavored the faster one rather than the one with smaller code size since
small code size can be gotten through other means.
