Ability to invoke a subcommand with defaults

[untitaker]

I don't want to specify the default values of a subcommand i am invoking, because i don't know which parameters that command is taking.

def test_other_command_invoke_with_defaults(runner):
    @click.command()
    @click.pass_context
    def cli(ctx):
        return ctx.invoke(other_cmd)

    @click.command()
    @click.option('--foo', type=click.INT, default=42)
    def other_cmd(foo):
        click.echo(foo)

    result = runner.invoke(cli, [])
    assert not result.exception
    assert result.output == '42\n'

This was always the intention and I fixed this in 3.2 now instead of 4.0 because of some internal changes I had to do for this. This is technically a backwards incompatible change but only for a case that was never documented (invoking other commands by passing arguments positionally) so I rather do this now than later when it's impossible.

What superb timing! I was trying to figure out what I was doing wrong when I saw the commit go through- works perfectly for me now. Any idea when you'll push 3.2 to pypi?

Click is great, btw- thank you !

Will push it soon. Was hoping for more bugs though :)
