- bugfix and test for fragile metavar handling in argparse (see
bpo-24089, bpo-14046, bpo-25058, bpo-11874)
- also fixes some incorrect tests that did not make 1-element tuples correctly

bpo-26510 in 3.7.0a2 changed the behavior of argparse to make
subparsers required by default, returning to the behavior of 2.7
and 3.2. The behavior was changed in 3.3 to be no longer required.
While it might make more sense to have the default to required,
compatibility with 3.3 through 3.6 is probably less disruptive
than trying to reintroduce compatibility with 2.7 at this point.
This change restores the 3.6 behavior.

This adds support for parsing a command line where options and positionals are intermixed as is common in many unix commands. This is paul.j3's patch with a few tweaks.
Output of func(*args) stored in the next line:
item_help = join([func(*args) for func, args in self.items])
_Section.items only used by HelpFormatter._add_item() and it looks
like it doesn't have any side effects.
Patch by Yogesh Chaudhari.
Before, if a default was set on the parent parser, any default for that
variable set via set_defaults on a subparser would be ignored. Now
the subparser set_defaults is honored.

on the action's default, reverting it back to previous behavior. Conversion
is only done on string defaults.
Add a test for this and another test that ensures such type conversions are
only called once.
This fixes a regression introduced by the fix for issue #13922. Although args
is not documented as being allowed to be a tuple, previously this worked and
so naturally there are programs in the field that depend on it.

Before, the type function was called twice in the case where the default
was specified and the argument was given as well. This was especially
problematic for the FileType type, as a default file would always be
opened, even if a file argument was specified on the command line.
