-expandgroups just expands the listing of the normal pts output. So, if
you have 'foo' is a member of 'bar' is a member of 'baz', 'pts mem baz'
would just list 'bar'. Running 'pts mem baz -expandgroups' will list
'bar' and 'foo'.

-supergroups lists the "parent" groups of a group. Normally if you run
'pts mem groupname' for a group, it lists the members of the group.
'pts mem groupname -supergroups' lists the groups that contain
'groupname'.

The documentation could probably stand to have some examples.
