Description

python argument parser thinks of non-positional arguments as optional.

In order to create required non-positional arguments, kamaki has to
take advance of the already implemented argument parser wrapping. It
should be modified so that it will offer what kamaki needs:

(a) "at least one of these" (OR) non-positional required arguments (e.g. in "modify" commands)
(b) "all of these" (AND) non-positional required arguments (e.g. in "create" commands)

This affects mostly the help messages and the error handling mechanisms of kamaki
