It would be nice to propagate the formatter_class defined in argparse.ArgumentParser() to added SubParsers by default. Currently one has to define the formatter_class for each subparser again and again.

Example:
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='property', formatter_class=argparse.ArgumentDefaultsHelpFormatter)
    subparsers = parser.add_subparsers(help='sub-command help')
    pcar = subparsers.add_parser('car', help='add car', formatter_class=argparse.ArgumentDefaultsHelpFormatter)
    pcar.add_argument('--color', help='color of car', default='red')
    pyacht = subparsers.add_parser('yacht', help='add yacht', formatter_class=argparse.ArgumentDefaultsHelpFormatter)
    pyacht.add_argument('--length', help='length of yacht [m]', default=12.5)
