[issue7976] warnings should provide a public API for accessing its option parsing code

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

I see.  I agree with Nick, a public API function in Warnings is better than something specific to optparse or argparse.  If the op (or anyone else) wants to propose a patch to create such an API (with docs and tests), that would be welcome.  The docs for that API could then include the recipe for using it with argparse.
