Yes, another downside of tweaking the ArgumentParser class is that you
need to change its interface and thus need to rewrite its consumers;
given that this is a temporary compatibility fix, it's not worth it to
spend more effort on this than what's needed to make it work until
that we drop support for Python 2.6. I heard "in 1 - 2 years" mentioned.
