Of course that works, but I want to be able to customize the parser so
it shows something like:
Usage: <program name> [options]
Use option '-h' for help.
Two problems for me with current behavior:
1. "usage" and "optional" => not capitalized
2. usage: temp.py [-h] [--foo FOO] => gets very lengthy and mind
numbing for programs with lots of options
