:class:`ArgumentParser` will see two ``-h/--help`` options (one in the parent
and one in the child) and raise an error.
+.. note::
+ You must fully initialize the parsers before passing them via ``parents=``.
+ If you change the parent parsers after the child parser, those changes will
+ not be reflected in the child.
