New submission from Ryan Govostes <rgovos...@gmail.com>:
import argparse
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument('things', nargs=argparse.REMAINDER, default=['nothing'])
parser.parse_args([])
>>> Namespace(things=[])
Since there were no unparsed arguments remaining, the `default` setting for
`things` should have been honored. However it silently ignores this setting.
If there's a reason why this wouldn't be desirable, it should raise an
exception that the options aren't compatible.
