Description
In https://github.com/ipython/traitlets/issues/490 this issue was raised and then closed by @rmorshea.
However,
* [searching the docs for mandatory](https://traitlets.readthedocs.io/en/stable/search.html?q=mandatory#) yields nothing
* [searching the docs for required](https://traitlets.readthedocs.io/en/stable/search.html?q=required#) doesnt yield any relevant docs.
So:
1. How does one flag an attribute as mandatory?
2. Is this documented and did I miss it?
Here is a code sample for you to elide with what is necessary to make the `req` attribute mandatory:
```python
class App(Application):
optional_arg = Int(config=True)
req = Unicode(config=True)
```
I'm expecting an exception to be thrown when I invoke this app without providing req:
```
python my_app.py --App.optional_arg=5
```
