[issue26196] Argparse breaks when a switch is given an argument beginning with a dash

[SilentGhost]

SilentGhost added the comment:

If you're to drop the space between the argument and its value, e.g. try_args('-a-a'), it seems to work as intended. The third example (
try_args("-a", "--")) still wouldn't work, but it looks like a reasonable workaround to me.
