[issue8735] optparse: parse_args(values=...) does not set up default values

New submission from John W. Shipman j...@nmt.edu: optparse's .parse_args() method has a 'values=...' keyword argument that is documented as: 'object to store option arguments in (default: a new instance of optparse.Values)' There is no description of what types this argument may have.
