[issue39058] argparse should preserve argument ordering in Namespace

Hmm, I was going to suggest switching to types.SimpleNamespace, but
realized we sort that repr too (likely for the same reason).  I've
opened issue #39075 to address that.

In writing up that issue, I considered that a sorted repr can be
useful in some cases.  However, I don't think any of those cases
really apply here.

Anyway, I agree with your conclusion. :)
