[New-bugs-announce] [issue15935] clarify argparse docs re: add_argument() type and default arguments

[Chris Jerdonek]

New submission from Chris Jerdonek:

This issue is to clarify in the documentation the argparse behavior for which tests were added in issue 15906.

The behavior involves when the type callable should be applied to default arguments.  See, for example, the following comment for what roughly needs to be added:

http://bugs.python.org/issue15906#msg170404

I will provide a patch.
