Sure, looks simple enough.

How is that different from the existing 'description' that David Goodger
added for Optik 1.4?

As it says at the top of optparse.py:

  Originally distributed as Optik; see http://optik.sourceforge.net/ .

  If you have problems with this module, please do not file bugs,
  patches, or feature requests with Python; instead, use Optik's
  SourceForge project page:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/optik

  For support, use the optik-users at lists.sourceforge.net mailing list
  (http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/optik-users).

So either post your patches to optik-users at lists.sourceforge.net, or
file 'em on the Optik tracker at SF.  Nothing wrong with cc'ing
python-dev at the same time, though.
