name for a mutually inclusive relationship

[lucas]

Hi !

In case you didn't though about that, in argparse, 
MutuallyExclusiveGroup is used for the mutually exclusive logic. You may 
use the same nomenclature, which happens to be IMHO much clearer than 
the one you came up with.

In GUIs, i guess that such an option would be implemented by a checkbox 
that, when checked, enables the widgets associated to all the mutually 
inclusive options.

Best regards,
