[From http://code.google.com/p/argparse/issues/detail?id=71]

There is a method ArgumentParser.add_argument_group() to create and add an argument group to the parser.  I would like the ability to remove an argument group via a method like remove_argument_group(group).

The use case for me is I create an argument group and then conditionally add a bunch of arguments to it.  If zero arguments are added I would like to then remove the group so that an empty group does not show up in the help output.
