This class is essentially a reimplementation of argparse's sub-parsers
feature. We first tried to use sub-parsers. However, they were missing
features like grouping of commands (http://bugs.python.org/issue14037).
The way this works involves light magic and a partial understanding of how
argparse works.
Arguments registered with an argparse.ArgumentParser have an action
associated with them. An action is essentially a class that when called
does something with the encountered argument(s). This class is one of those
action classes.
An instance of this class is created doing something like:
parser.add_argument('command', action=CommandAction, registrar=r)
Note that a mach.registrar.Registrar instance is passed in. The Registrar
holds information on all the mach commands that have been registered.
When this argument is registered with the ArgumentParser, an instance of
this class is instantiated. One of the subtle but important things it does
is tell the argument parser that it's interested in *all* of the remaining
program arguments. So, when the ArgumentParser calls this action, we will
receive the command name plus all of its arguments.
For more, read the docs in __call__.

Since we always register ourselves with nargs=argparse.REMAINDER,
values should be a list of remaining arguments to parse. The first
argument should be the name of the command to invoke and all remaining
arguments are arguments for that command.
The gist of the flow is that we look at the command being invoked. If
it's *help*, we handle that specially (because argparse's default help
handler isn't satisfactory). Else, we create a new, independent
ArgumentParser instance for just the invoked command (based on the
information contained in the command registrar) and feed the arguments
into that parser. We then merge the results with the main
ArgumentParser.
