* ``'store_true'`` and ``'store_false'`` - These are special cases of
``'store_const'`` using for storing the values ``True`` and ``False``
respectively. In addition, they create default values of *False* and *True*
respectively. For example::
>>> parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
>>> parser.add_argument('--foo', action='store_true')
>>> parser.add_argument('--bar', action='store_false')
>>> parser.add_argument('--baz', action='store_false')
>>> parser.parse_args('--foo --bar'.split())
Namespace(bar=False, foo=True)
Namespace(bar=False, baz=True, foo=True)
* ``'append'`` - This stores a list, and appends each argument value to the
list. This is useful to allow an option to be specified multiple times.
