 ### Nested parsers
 
+An option/command handler can be a _parser instance_.
+
+From the point of view of the _nested parser_ nothing is different &ndash; 
+it gets passed the remaining list of arguments and handles it on it's own.
+
+The _containing parser_ treats the nested parser just like any normal 
+handler with it's attributes and API.
+
+Note that if the _nested parser_ consumes the rest of the arguments,
+the _containing parser_ is left with an empty list and it will stop 
+parsing and return normally.
+
+A way to explicitly stop the _nested parser_ processing at a specific 
+point in the argument list is to pass it a `-` argument at that point.
+
+For example:
+```shell
+$ script -a nested -b -c - -x -y -z
+```
+
+Here `script` will handle `-a` then delegate to `nested` which in turn
+will consume `-b`, `-c` and on `-` return, rest of the arguments are 
+again handled by `script`.
+
+This is similar to the way programming languages handle passing arguments 
+to functions, for example in [Lisp](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Lisp) 
+this is similar to:
+```lisp
+(script a (nested b c) x y z)
+```
+
+And in _C-like-call-syntax_ languages like 
+[C](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_(programming_language))/[Python](https://python.org)/JavaScript/... 
+this would (a bit less cleanly) be:
+```javascript
+script(a, nested(b, c), x, y, z)
+```
+
+The difference here is that `nested` has control over what it handles, and
+depending on its definition, can either override the default `-` option as 
+well as stop handling arguments at any point it chooses (similar to _words_ 
+in stack languages like [Fort](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forth_(programming_language)) 
+or [Factor](https://factorcode.org/)).

 ## Advanced parser API
 
 ### `.print(..)` / `.printError(..)`
 
+Handle how `Parser(..)` prints things.
+
+`.print(..)` and `.printError(..)` are very similar but handle different 
+cases, similar to `console.log(..)` and `console.error(..)`
+```
+<parser>.print(...)
+	-> <parser>
+
+<parser>.printError(...)
+	-> <parser>
+```
+
+Both support callback binding:
+```
+<parser>.print(<func>)
+	-> <parser>
+
+<parser>.printError(<func>)
+	-> <parser>
+```
+
+Both `.print(..)` and `.printError(..)` can safely be overloaded if the 
+callback feature is not going to be used by the user &ndash; the print 
+callbacks are not used internally.  
+For full callback support see: `extra.afterCallback(..)` in [argv.js](./argv.js).
+
+
 ### `.handlerDefault(..)`
 
-### `.handleArgument(..)`
+Called when `<option>.handler(..)` is not defined.
+
+By default this sets option values on the _parsed_ object.
+
 
 ### `.handleArgumentValue(..)`
 
+Handle argument value conversion.
+
+By default this handles the `<option>.type` mechanics.
+
+If this is set to `false` values will be set as-is.
+
+
 ### `.handleErrorExit(..)`
 
+Handle exit on error.
+
+By default this will call process.exit(1) for the _root parser_ and does 
+nothing for _nested parsers_.
+
+If set to `false` the _parser_ will simply return like any normal function.
