13/// Arguments for the `recall` subcommand.

15/// When `--namespace` is omitted the query runs against the `global` namespace,
16/// which is the default namespace used by `remember` when no `--namespace` flag
17/// is provided. Pass an explicit `--namespace` value to search a different
18/// isolated namespace.
