[issue24338] In argparse adding wrong arguments makes malformed namespace

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

They are accessible.

>>> getattr(args, 'foo bar')
'abc'

The limitation that argument names should be Python identifiers is too strong and adding it will break existing code (for example the use of such popular options as -0 or -@).
