Description
I'd like to be able to automatically display the full help of a command when a validation fails.
Let's say a command has a --port option with an associated validator: caporal.NUMBER validator. I call this command using --port notNumber: I would like to be able to catch the generated error (in my catch block) and manually call await caporal.exec(['help', COMMAND_NAME]); in order to display the full help of the command! But the executed command is currently not provided in the meta section, on such error.
Also, it would be appreciated if all errors had a dedicated code. For example: code: INVALID_OPTION_VALUE, so we can know without a doubt what the error is and be able to react to it as we want. Yes, Caporal errors currently have a name, but this value is the name of the error's constructor (if I'm not mistaken), and this name is actually minified in your distributed code... So not very solid, in my opinion.
