openstack project delete: Missing cascade option or its documentation

[Bernd Bausch]

With Mitaka, project subtrees can be deleted with one API request. Does the openstack client support this?

$ openstack --version
openstack 2.3.0
$ openstack project delete HPE
Cannot delete the project e4690776baf645cf9056987e129259ce since it is not a leaf in the hierarchy. Use the cascade option if you want to delete a whole subtree. (HTTP 403) (Request-ID: req-675787a3-fd83-4b46-823b-ec5742a93ec9)
$ openstack project delete --cascade HPE
usage: openstack project delete [-h] [--domain <domain>]
                                <project> [<project> ...]
openstack project delete: error: unrecognized arguments: --cascade

Either the cascade option has not been implemented, or it's not called "cascade". In the latter case, the error message and the help string are wrong.

Currently the API does not exist for deleting (with a cascade) subtrees -- you can create them all you want, but there is no public route for deleting with cascade. see https://review.openstack.org/#/c/244248/ and the associated blueprint
