 For most use cases, no extra work is required to define flags. However, if customisation is needed to control the flag name
 or the default value then the :func:`~ext.commands.flag` function can come in handy:

 The flag converter is similar to regular commands and allows you to use most types of converters
 (with the exception of :class:`~ext.commands.Greedy`) as the type annotation. Some extra support is added for specific
 annotations as described below.
