[issue14910] argparse disable abbreviation

[Jens Jährig]

New submission from Jens Jährig :

argparse uses per default abbreviation in unambiguous cases.

I don't want abbreviation and i'd like to disable it.
But theres no option to do this.
http://docs.python.org/library/argparse.html#argument-abbreviations
Only to override the Handler like suggested here: 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10750802/python-argparse-disable-abbreviation/10751356#10751356


# Example  #


import argparse
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument('--send', action='store_true')
parser.parse_args(['--se']) # returns Namespace(send=True)

But i want it only to be true when the full parameter is supplied. To prevent 
user errors.
