New submission from Max Rothman:
In the case detailed below, argparse.ArgumentParser improperly parses the
argument string "-_":
```
import argparse
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument('first')
print(parser.parse_args(['-_']))
```
Expected behavior: prints Namespace(first='-_')
Actual behavior: prints usage message
The issue seems to be specific to the string "-_". Either character alone or
both in the opposite order does not trigger the issue.
