Well, if you get check out the current trunk via svn (as described in
the developer's faq linked from http://www.python.org/dev) and you look
at what Lib/test/test_optparse.py currently does, you might find it is
not too hard to add some new cases to test the new code.  Then in
Doc/library/optparse.rst, you make appropriate changes to the
documentation RestructuredTest source code, and post everything in a
single patch.

If you don't want to do all this that's fine, the ticket will sit here
until someone comes along who wants to move it forward ;)

Thanks for taking an interest in this.
