New submission from Julien Baley:
The documentation of the action `store_const` states that it defaults to None.
In turn, the documentation of `store_true` and `store_false` states that
"[t]hese are special cases of 'store_const'", suggesting that they would also
default to None.
Thankfully, `store_true` defaults to False and `store_false` to True, but this
is not documented. That would be useful, as I keep seeing people writing
`action='store_true' default=False` and vice-versa.
