[New-bugs-announce] [issue18790] incorrect text in argparse add_help example

[purplezephyr]

New submission from purplezephyr:

The last example under add_help in the documentation for the argparse module has incorrect text.  It is supposed to demonstrate what happens when prefix_chars doesn't include '-', and add_help is True, but the example has the following:

  usage: PROG [-h]

  optional arguments:
    -h, --help  show this help message and exit

instead of:

  usage: PROG [+h]

  optional arguments:
    +h, ++help  show this help message and exit
