`argparse.ArgumentParser` is great, but sometimes you want a more handy one

handyArgumentParser.py

import argparse

class AP(argparse.ArgumentParser):
    def add(self, *av, **kw):
        if 'default' not in kw:
            if kw.get('action') == 'count':
                kw['default'] = 0
        self.add_argument(*av, **kw)
        return self
#end class AP

arg = AP(
    description='Sample usage code.'
).add(
    '-v', '--verbose',
    action='count', dest='verbose',
    help='more -v more verbose'
).add(
    '-q', '--quiet',
    action='count', dest='quiet',
    help='more -q more silence'
).parse_args()

verbose = arg.verbose - arg.quiet
