[issue14174] argparse.REMAINDER fails to parse remainder correctly

[Michael Edwards]

Michael Edwards added the comment:

I'm attaching my own bug repro script for Eric. Is this sufficient? I can 
demonstrate the entire resulting Namespace, but the problem is that argparse 
doesn't even produce a Namespace. The cases I show simply fail.

[issue16614] argparse accepts partial parameters

[Michael Edwards]

New submission from Michael Edwards:

When running parse_args, ArgumentParser is liberal in accepting parameters. 
Partial matches will be accepted as arguments

(in the included example, --test bob, --tester bob, --testers bob all set the 
testers argument)

Perhaps this is documented, but it was super unexpected for me.
