Add option to combine default reminders with custom reminders in add commands

Could you update with an example to clarify what you mean by "combine"? That you can specify a default but also be prompted to add other reminders?

Note I'm in the process of fleshing out an actual config file format (#416) with more supported options, and defaults tend to be a much better fit to configure in structured configs vs. cli args. I might leave existing args alone for now, declare them deprecated, and focus on having ways just in config.toml to pick defaults.

I wanted to set reminders both of the type I set up in google calendars settings and also other non predefined ones, ie custom ones.

in gcalcli:
--default-reminders and --reminder REMINDERS together for the command add

K yeah, I find the --default-reminders flag confusing and after spending some time looking at the mechanics of it I was actually wondering about the same...

Since --default-reminders describes itself as "If no --reminder is given, use the defaults", it can't be combined with other reminders. AFAICT there's also no way to specify default reminders interactively if you didn't include the --default-reminders option on cli. To fix both issues, I'm considering deprecating --default-reminders and instead having a special DEFAULTS value you can use for reminders, to allow you to use that like any other reminders value.

Then you should be able to do --reminder DEFAULTS --reminder '5m sms' to request defaults combined with an explicit SMS reminder, and that'd take care of your needs here, correct?

Yes indeed.

Wait was this fixed already? My earlier reminders fix was for something else (but I might've fixed how the options combine along the way?).
