App::Cmd::Subdispatch - an App::Cmd::Command that is also an App::Cmd

=head1 VERSION

version 0.338

=head1 PERL VERSION

This library should run on perls released even a long time ago.  It should
work on any version of perl released in the last five years.

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the
minimum required version will not be increased.  The version may be increased
for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to
lower the minimum required perl.

A hackish new that allows us to have an Command instance before they normally
exist.

=head2 prepare

  my $subcmd = $subdispatch->prepare($app, @args);

An overridden version of L<App::Cmd::Command/prepare> that performs a new
dispatch cycle.

=head2 app

  $subdispatch->app;

This method returns the application that this subdispatch is a command of.

=head2 choose_parent_app

  $subcmd->prepare(
    $subdispatch->choose_parent_app($app, $opt, $plugin),
    @$args
  );

A method that chooses whether the parent app or the subdispatch is going to be
C<< $cmd->app >>.
