Some small features

🚀 Feature

Here’s a list of small features I’d love to see out of Aim as I’ve gone through using it. Either by expectation of “I should be able to do this?” or things I’d love to be able to do

CLI

To be able to do -h or --help. Many CLI programs work this way, and I expected aim to be quite similar, so this would be good for consistency!

Logging:

A way for you to log multiple values in a dictionary. Prime example are metrics, e.g I currently do:

for met, value in eval_metrics.items():
    run.track(value, name=met, epoch=epoch, context={"subset":"validation"})

But it’d be nice to just pass in eval_metrics (which is a k/v dict of str:value) and have all of them be logged on a single context.

I may edit this as I go along, but these were two small QOL things that I think would be nice 😃

@muellerzr adding -h as a help message flag is easy. The only blocker is that for some commands we already have it used. For example, aim up has -h | --host option. I can add -h for a top-level command, but unfortunately not for sub-commands. Do you think it would make sense?

As for the dict support in track() method; would you mind to open a separate issue, so we can discuss the solution and track the progress there? It would help us to keep the GH clean.

–help works, I should specified just the -h part 😄
