+/// ## Difference to `#[cu::cli]` macro
+/// - The main function is not wrapped, meaning any `cu::Result` you got you need to display it
+///   yourself to the user.
+/// - Need to call [`cu::cli::reset_color`] manually to reset color.
+/// - RUST_BACKTRACE is not enabled automatically in trace level. To enable it you can
+///   check `lv::T::enabled()` after calling `init_options` and use `unsafe { std::env::set_var(...)
+///   }`
+/// - `finished in XX.XXs` time is not printed
