Add option to print stack trace instead of just printing the exception.

The current version prints the error without context, which feels a bit like the error hiding antipattern.

It would be nice to display floats or data structures containing floats to a particular amount of precision, rather than simply taking the default.

Create an option such that we don't raise an exception for callable attributes that can't be turned into UI commands.

Currently, all functions are collected from all parent classes and presented together as one flat set of options. Consider a means of presenting them grouped by the class that inherits them.

Example 1:

Parent Class Methods:
function_a              function_b               function_c
Child Class Methods:
function_d              function_e               function_f

Currently only @property decorators, which create "getters" are supported, but "setters" are not.

Doing so wouldn't take too much effort. The only edge case arises when our setter has a default argument.

@property
def greeting(self):
    return self.the_greeting

@greeting.setter
def greeting(self, new_greeting: str = ""):
    self.the_greeting = new_greeting

When we run the greeting command in the prompt with no arguments, are we "getting" the value or "setting" the value to the default value? We'll need to be explicit about this in the docs.

naively converts the string to the type specified. This works for ints and floats, but breaks pretty badly for bools.

We should also handle enums that have a string representation.

Literal types are type hints that produce a specific set of hinted values for parameters. These should be tab-completable (within reason).

See PEP-586

from typing import Literal, get_args
valid_modes = Literal['r', 'w']

get_args(valid_modes)

should return

('r', 'w')
