New submission from Michael Edwards:

When running parse_args, ArgumentParser is liberal in accepting parameters. 
Partial matches will be accepted as arguments

(in the included example, --test bob, --tester bob, --testers bob all set the 
testers argument)

Perhaps this is documented, but it was super unexpected for me.
