Derive Gotchas

• Always prefix generated variables with __clap_ to minimize clashes with the user's variables, see #2934.
• Prefer the path clap over ::clap to allow users to re-export clap, see #2258.
• Prefer substituting variable names to avoid problems with macro_rules, see #2823.
• Prefer ::std::result::Result and ::std::option::Option, see #3092.
• Put whitespace between #quoted #variables.
• New “magic” attributes must be documented in the derive reference
  • If there is no related builder method, a #![doc(alias = "")] should also be added, see #4984
