Yeah but as I said above, I'm not sure it's optparse's role to provide pre-built/convenience options for other stdlib modules, especially given the chance those option would hit into the modules's implementation details.

Well I'm starting the impl on -trunk, and if optparse is deprecated in favor of argparse, I'm sure the same facilities can be built for argparse. It's not like the patch is gigantic.
