I actually noticed this while trying to free the -h option for my program. The actions not mentioned are count, help, and parsers. Also for nargs, '...' and 'A...' are not documented either in the Sphinx docs or the leading docstring for the Action class.

action="help" definitely needs to be documented

action="count" probably should be, though I think it's pretty useless (I just copied it from optparse)

action="parsers", nargs="..." and nargs="A..." I'm not so sure about. These are currently kind of implementation details.

I would not document 'parsers'.

The patch has been submitted, now we just need to apply it and update the online docs accordingly.
