    -- * Argument inheritance between child and parent frames.

    -- @note The `args` table from the @{arguments.getArgs}
    -- function is a metatable for performance reasons.
    -- Thus, the table will not permit Lua table methods
    -- such as `#args`, @{next|next(args)}, and @{table}
    -- library functions.
    -- @note This module will eventually be adapted as a
    -- library in [[mw:gerrit:q/158323|MediaWiki
    -- core]], called as `require('getArgs')`. The core
    -- library will remove `options.parentOnly`.

    -- first, then the parent frame arguments. There are numerous frame
    -- options to change this behaviour.

    -- are defined strings and treats blank strings as `nil`. This can be
    -- customised in the `getArgs` options.

    -- @param {frame|table} frame Scribunto frame object or
