Argparse's Mutually Exclusive Group Nesting Limitation: A Frustrating Conundrum

Python's argparse module, while offering convenient features for handling command-line arguments, including mutually exclusive groups, has a frustrating limitation when it comes to nesting. Consider a program with multiple timeout settings where users can either adjust individual timeouts or disable them entirely. Argparse doesn't support nesting a 'no-timeout' option within a group of individual timeout options, making configuration cumbersome. While you can nest a mutually exclusive group inside a regular group, the reverse isn't supported, and the official documentation explicitly states this limitation. This forces developers to manually check if specific switches were used, adding complexity.
