//! Use `OrEnvExt` when you have a cli arg (e.g. `db_url: Option<String>`) that
//! can also be set by a "fallback" env variable (e.g. `$DATABASE_URL`). Then,
//! when initializing the args, just use `db_url.or_env_mut("DATABASE_URL")?`.
//!
//! This works with any `FromStr` type, in which case it will parse the env
//! value and return an error if that fails.
