Hi !

In case you didn't though about that, in argparse, MutuallyExclusiveGroup is used for the mutually exclusive logic. You may use the same nomenclature, which happens to be IMHO much clearer than the one you came up with.

In GUIs, i guess that such an option would be implemented by a checkbox that, when checked, enables the widgets associated to all the mutually inclusive options.

I'm looking for a name for a group of options that, when one is specified, all of them must be specified.

For contrast,

- radio buttons: a group of options where only one can be specified (mutually exclusive) - check boxes:   a group of options that are independent of each other (any number of
                  them may be specified)

- ???: a group of options where, if one is specified, all must be specified (mutually
        inclusive)

So far, I have come up with:

- the Three Musketeers
- clique
- club
- best friends
- tight knit
- group

Is there a name out there already to describe that concept?
