Comment (by Carlton Gibson):
Well, who'd have thought this would have been an issue? You live and
learn.
Thanks for the input all.
Having looked at the two PRs, and given that this issue has come up, I
think the formatter is the right way to go.
* It works and is API specifically targeting our usage.
* Formatting aside, adding the default arguments first probably does make
sense.
* It's not clear that the `_try_add_argument` wouldn't add a further bug
that we run into later-on.
We should document in the release notes that the new formatter is used, so
if it does break anything people know to adjust.
(I think the small BC risk here is worth the extra readability for normal
case.)
