Thinking about https://bugs.python.org/issue34744, I realized that the new style formatting could provide some added flexibility to the help lines.

I think new style formatting could be added in parallel with the existing style, as an alternative, not as a replacement.

With that option a help line like:

'help for {dest} or {option_strings[0]} default is {default}'  

could be used.
