 * Group arguments.
 * By default, ArgumentParser groups command-line arguments
 * into “positional arguments” and “optional arguments”
 * when displaying help messages. When there is a better
 * conceptual grouping of arguments than this default one,
 * appropriate groups can be created using the addArgumentGroup() method
 *
 * This class inherited from [[ArgumentContainer]]
