Oliver Heger resolved CLI-124.
------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

A fix was applied in revision 681185.

So far HelpFormatter never displayed optional child groups in square brackets. I did \
not want to change this globally because existing code may rely on this behavior. So \
I added a new constant "DISPLAY_OPTIONAL_CHILD_GROUP" to DisplaySettings, which can \
be explicitly set in the properties of the HelpFormatter instance (the set returned \
by getFullUsageSettings()).

If this flag is added, optional child groups will be displayed in square brackets.

> HelpFormatter should be more cunning when deciding if a Group is Optional and \
>                 therefore square-bracketing it

> 
> Currently all child groups are required to satisfy their constraints (defaul is any \
> thing goes) and so if you have a Group A as a child of Group B and set a minimum of \
> 1 on A then B is no longer Optional as A is not Optional.
