Sometimes you want to provide format description in help message for argparse.add_argument, e.g. for comma-separated key/value set "--flag key1=value1,key2=value2". At this moment there is no format specifier for flag or name of arguments.
I propose add new %(flag)s specifier for help strings, see example.py
