Tried to comment in Rietveld but it didn't work for some reason. Anyway, I 
think the argparse.py patch isn't good - changing the type error message to 
"'invalid %s value: %r details: "%s"'" will change the behavior of a bunch of 
programs, and it's not clearly for the better. Instead, you should raise an 
ArgumentTypeError instead of a ValueError, and give it whatever message you 
want there. That is, let's keep this patch local to the FileType, and not touch 
the rest of argparse.
