Oliver Heger commented on CLI-124:
----------------------------------

If I understand this correctly, we need a notion for: This child group is 
optional, but if it is present, it must have at least n elements, correct?

> HelpFormatter should be more cunning when deciding if a Group is Optional and 
> therefore square-bracketing it

> Currently all child groups are required to satisfy their constraints (defaul 
> is any thing goes) and so if you have a Group A as a child of Group B and set 
> a minimum of 1 on A then B is no longer Optional as A is not Optional.
