Currently, using add_subparsers() means that the entire list of subcommands is added to the main usage message. This gets rather unwieldy when there are a lot of subcommands. It would be nice if the add_subparsers() method accepted a "metavar" argument that would be substituted into the usage string instead of using the subparser list directly.
