The %default option help string feature doesn't exist in Python 2.3, but 
the documentation for Python 2.4 and 2.5 don't mention that it was added 
in 2.4. It should mention this so people developing for 2.3 and 2.4/2.5 
can be aware of this.

http://docs.python.org/lib/optparse-generating-help.html is the page 
describing the %default feature. I would imagine the bullet point about 
the feature being prefixed with "New in 2.4: ..."
