Martin d'Anjou added the comment:
How about calling required arguments "required arguments"?
required arguments:
--reqarg REQARG, -r REQARG
This is required
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--optarg OPTARG, -o OPTARG
This is optional
Clear and unambiguous. With this approach the user does not have to bloat the
help to state "This is required".
We're having the same discussion over at github regarding argparse4j:
