- >>> parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(prog='PROG')
- >>> parser.add_argument('--foo')
- >>> parser.add_argument('command')
- >>> parser.add_argument('args', nargs=argparse.REMAINDER)

If the ``nargs`` keyword argument is not provided, the number of arguments consumed
is determined by the action_. Generally this means a single command-line argument
will be consumed and a single item (not a list) will be produced.
