Comment(by asn):

 Check out my branch 'argparse_cli'. It looks like this:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/asn/hexchat.git/shortlog/refs/heads/argparse_cli

 You might or might not like it. It splits the hexchat.py launcher into two
 launchers, one for the client-side and another for the server-side. I
 believe the CLI is smoother now.

 You don't see many CLIs with '--client' containing three different things.
 Also, in your latest code all your args are optional, which breaks badly.

 The only functional change in my branch is that the client-side can't
 spawn multiple XMPP bots anymore (it only accepts a single jid/password
 pair). Does this matter? I imagined that only the server-side needs to
 have control XMPP bots. If that's not the case I'll fix it somehow to
 allow multiple JID/passwords. (The server-side still supports multiple
 XMPP credentials).
