Optional groups were designed to support two specific legacy use cases:
  * functions that have groups of parameters that are 
  * functions with optional parameters to the left of required parameters

They are not intended to be used in cases like this.  I really, really wish you would stop using them except for these specific legacy cases.

Furthermore, the argument parsing for tkinter.tkapp.wantobjects has a very clear translation into Argument Clinic:

    value: int = -1
    /


Optional groups should not be used for single-argument functions.  I have no interest in fixing this bug.
