In argparse.rst, while documenting ArgumentParser.add_subparsers, ``prog`` is described on line 1630 as:
  usage information that will be displayed with sub-command help,
  by default the name of the program and any positional arguments 
  before the subparser argument

This is confusing since ``prog`` is actually a very small prefix of the usage message.  Describing this parameter as "name of the program" or event "name of the program with sub-commands" would be more clear.
