[issue16418] argparse with many choices can generate absurdly long usage message

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

I don't think choices is a good choice there (pardon the pun).  You really want a custom type.  I'm inclined to think that that applies to any 'choices' value that is 'too large' for the help display.  Part of the point of choices is that you *want* the help display to list all the choices.

I'm inclined to close this as invalid.
