Thanks for the report and patch. However, since there is no del_parser method, I'm inclined to think that this is not a bug. That is, the ability to overwrite a previously defined subparser could be considered a feature. If Steven does consider it a bug, I think it can only be fixed in 3.3, since to do otherwise could needlessly break currently-working programs. If it is not a bug, add_parser's behavior when a parser already exist should be documented.
