Suggestion: subcommands by chaining justfiles

[indigoviolet]

Have you considered more explicit support for sub-commands? Specifically: having a recipe that could "chain" into a different justfile. So if I have

#.justfile
sub = subcommand("/path/to/sub.justfile")

#sub.justfile
foo_recipe:
    ....

I could execute just sub foo_recipe.

This supports modularization in some ways, and it could help organize multiple justfiles in a neat way.

It's pretty easy to simulate today:

sub subcmd *args:
     just -f /path/to/sub.justfile {{ subcmd }} {{ args }}

But you could imagine adding niceties on top: shell completion & help for the subcommand recipes, passing down variables etc.

Definitely! I want to do this via a module system, see #383 and #929.
