Yes, but this is not the same syntax. I want this syntax :

my-script (-a -b VALUE-B | -c -d VALUE-D)

I don't want this syntax:

my-script (subcommad-a -b VALUE-B | subcommand-c -d VALUE-D)

In fact, in this post, I have simplified my question to put the stress just on my problem. In the real life, my script already uses the subcommands (and no problem with that). But I need to have mutually exclusive groups with 2 *sets* of options for compatibility reasons with another programs.
