argparse: does not respect required args pre-populated into namespace
wants to put 'required' values in the Namespace. That's a similar issue.
An idea that I tried for that (but didn't submit as a patch) is to move the tests at the end of _parse_know_args to a separate function that is called by parse_known_args.
In http://bugs.python.org/issue26394#msg261540 I suggested putting the fallback in the testing section of _parse_known_args. If that testing section is in a separate method, it would be easier to customize and add such a fallback.
