Determine if the flag is required.

If it's only known at runtime whether the flag is required or not you can pass a Function instead of a boolean, which based on the given flags and other non-flag arguments should decide if the flag is required.

- The second argument is the **input** string array, which contains the non-flag arguments.
- The function should return a `boolean`, true if the flag is required, otherwise false.

The key is the flag name in camel-case and the value is an object with any of:

- `type`: Type of value. (Possible values: `string` `boolean` `number`)
- `shortFlag`: A short flag alias.

- If it's only known at runtime whether the flag is required or not, you can pass a `Function` instead of a `boolean`, which based on the given flags and other non-flag arguments, should decide if the flag is required. Two arguments are passed to the function:

- The second argument is the **input** string array, which contains the non-flag arguments.
- The function should return a `boolean`, true if the flag is required, otherwise false.

Note that flags are always defined using a camel-case key (`myKey`), but will match arguments in kebab-case (`--my-key`).
