[issue14174] argparse.REMAINDER fails to parse remainder correctly

[Arnout van Meer]

New submission from Arnout van Meer <rr2do2 at gmail.com>:

Reproduction case is attached and should speak for itself, but the short brief is that the argparse.REMAINDER behaviour is very inconsistent based on what (potentially) defined argument handlers come before it.

Tested this on Python 2.7 on OS X, but also grabbed the latest argparse.py from hg to verify against this.
