My suggestion to use `metavar=('A','')` to streamline the usage creates problems with the help code http://bugs.python.org/issue14074 The tuple metavar does not work right for positionals. That's a old issue that should have been fixed long ago. So streamlining the usage has to be done with a custom HelpFormatter subclass.
