[issue14365] argparse: subparsers, argument abbreviations and ambiguous option

[Jakub Warmuz]

Jakub Warmuz <jakub.warmuz+bugs.python.org at gmail.com> added the comment:

Attached quick&dirty fix I'm currently using in my project. Maybe this will help to create a valid patch.

Instead of changing _parse_optional, I've overridden _get_option_tuples to scan subparsers for matching optional arguments if option is ambiguous in the current parser.

I've only skimmed through the code, so forgive me if that fix is useless.
