New submission from Chris Jerdonek:
Works:
>>> p = ArgumentParser(prog='test.py')
>>> p.add_argument('pos')
>>> p.add_argument('remainder', nargs=argparse.REMAINDER)
>>> p.parse_args(['abc', '--def'])
Namespace(pos='abc', remainder=['--def'])
Doesn't work:
>>> p = ArgumentParser(prog='test.py')
>>> p.add_argument('remainder', nargs=argparse.REMAINDER)
>>> p.parse_args(['--def'])
usage: test.py [-h] ...
test.py: error: unrecognized arguments: --def
This use case comes up, for example, if you would like to extract all the
arguments passed to a subparser in order to pass to a different program.
