[issue22049] argparse: type=<callable> doesn't honor nargs > 1

[paul j3]

paul j3 added the comment:

Note that 

    '-t 1 2 3'.split()

becomes

    ['-t', '1', '2', '3']

Your 'type' function sees those 3 strings individually.  Try printing 'string' the first thing in your function to see what we mean.
