wrobell <wrob...@pld-linux.org> added the comment:

an example would be a pdf merger accepting multiple files and allowing to 
specify list of pages for each input.

at the moment, you can do the following with argparse

   pdfmerge [pages] input [[pages] input ...] output

of course, above is not perfect as you need a bit of heuristic to determine 
what is "pages" and what is the "input" itself (easy to
do, but still...).

on other side, i find the following more straightforward

   pdfmerge [-p pages] input [[-p pages] input ...] output

or to complicate things

   pdfmerge [-p pages] [-s scale] input [[-p pages] [-s scale] input ...] output

btw. i understand the argparse limitations, therefore putting this as feature 
enhancement... if possible :)
