* ``'store_true'`` and ``'store_false'`` - These are special cases of
``'store_const'`` used 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(foo=True, bar=False, baz=True)
