The last example under add_help in the documentation for the argparse module has incorrect text. It is supposed to demonstrate what happens when prefix_chars doesn't include '-', and add_help is True, but the example has the following: usage: PROG [-h] optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit instead of: usage: PROG [+h] optional arguments: +h, ++help show this help message and exit
