The goal is to standardize the format of the help text printed by commands. It is not easy to choose between brackets `[]` and parentheses `()`. I went for the docopt style, which is the closest to a standard I could find: http://docopt.org/ [...] and whether that argument has a default value ([default: 10]). This change has already been applied to distutils: pypa/distutils#262
