# This effectively overrides/monkeypatches the core argparse module to provide more helpful output around choices
# We shouldn't really steal a private member from argparse, but otherwise we're just duplicating code

# HelpfulSubparserAction gives more information about the possible choices from a subparsed choice
# HelpfulArgParser gives the list of choices when no arguments are provided to a choice option whilst still using a METAVAR
