There seems to be already a test for that, namely TestActionUserDefined,
which use type=float  and type=int.  The value is  properly converted to
{int,float} when passed to __call__().  Just in case, I also tested with
a  'type' function  I defined  myself (which  only returns  float()) for
OptionalAction and it's working fine.

Good point, it would be much better.  Thanks for the advice. I have just
modified the patch with that.
