`optparse` -> information about `store_const` is a bit vague

[jugmac00]

Documentation

For context - new optparse user here.

After I have seen store_const in our code base, I had a bit of a hard time to figure out the difference between store and store_const.

The Other actions section just mentions.

store const -> store a constant value

I would like to add a link to https://docs.python.org/3/library/optparse.html#optparse.Option.const and mention that the constant value is not provided by the user, but needs to be set beforehand.

Would a pull request with theses changes be accepted?

Thanks! I had a look around the documentation for optparse, and I found two more spots which would benefit by linking to Option.const.

@rhettinger: Unfortunately, it seems I do not have sufficient permissions to do this.
