I encountered a conflict when merging this patch with http://bugs.python.org/issue15112. In my first testcase, 'cmd' and 'rest' failed the 'required' test in phase one of 'intermixed'. That's because 15112 postponed parsing them (with nargs=0/suppressed). I got around that by temporarily setting the 'required' attribute to False. The whole issue of when (or even whether) a positional that is satisfied with 0 arguments, is consumed, is a bit messy.
