The basic idea is good, though I don't like adding yet another parameter to
ArgumentParser. I see two alternatives that I'd probably be okay with:
(1) Move the add_subparsers method into _ArgumentGroup. This would make putting
subcommands under a heading just like putting anything else under a heading, and
you'd write something like::
commands_group = parser.add_argument_group(title='subcommands')
subparsers = commands_group.add_subparsers()
...
(2) Teach the add_subparsers() method about title= and description= parameters,
and
if either of these are present, create the corresponding argument group and add
the
subparser action there instead of to the _positionals list. This would be a
little
less pure, since normally only groups add new headings, but it might be more
practical because you could write something like:
subparsers = parser.add_subparsers(title='subcommands')
...
What do you think?

I think I like (2) better, since (1) implies that you could have a separate
subparser
for each group, which I don't think was the intention. I guess there should
only be
one subparser per parser, not group, right?
