Comment:

 Hi Ryan. Thanks for the report. This seems reasonable.

 Interestingly, with the patch, if you pass an abbreviation to second
 parser you get the error you'd expect:

     manage.py config: error: ambiguous option: --se could match --set,
 --settings

 > ...this option is only available in Python 3.5 and above.

 Right. For that reason lets call this a New Feature and roll it into 2.1,
 where we don't have to worry about compat. (This has existed for ≈forever
 so I can't see the harm in holding off slightly.)

 > Also, this might be considered a breaking change if users are expecting
 to be able to use the abbreviated option names, but I don't know if that's
 really a concern.

 Yes, probably not a biggie but could you add a note to the Breaking
 changes section in `2.1.txt`.
