[issue38217] argparse should support multiple types when nargs > 1

Which is more valuable to you, the string conversion, or the checking?

What's wrong with doing the 'type check' in post parsing code?  (MarSoft's answer in the SO link).

To make a better case for this, I'd suggest writing your own fix.  It doesn't need to be a polished push, but enough code to show that the change is relatively simple (preferably occurring in only one or two functions).
