[issue11176] give more meaningful argument names in argparse documentation

Greg Roodt added the comment: Is this still an issue? If so, I've created a simpler first example as suggested below. If we decide these docs still need a bit more work, I can also continue to provide better examples than the "foo bar" ones. -- keywords: +patch nosy

[issue15183] it should be made clear that the statement in the --setup option and the setup kw arg aren't included in the count
