[issue9334] argparse does not accept options taking arguments beginning with dash (regression from optparse)

[Gerard van Helden]

Gerard van Helden <dremeltje at gmail.com> added the comment:

The reporter imho is 100% right. Simply because of the fact that in the current situation, there is no way to supply an argument starting with a dash (not even for instance a filename). That is, of course, total nonsense to be dictated by the parser library.
