The `allow_abbrev` option for ArgumentParser is documented and intended to disable support for unique prefixes of --options, which may sometimes be ambiguous due to deferred parsing. However, the initial implementation also broke parsing of grouped short flags, such as `-ab` meaning `-a -b`. Checking for a leading `--` fixes this.

I'm still hoping that this will be merged into the 3.8 branch before 3.8.0, but I guess we can adjust the number later.

I talked to a more experienced core dev, and we agreed that this a bugfix appropriate for 3.8. |
|
No worries! I'm just glad I can make a contribution, and getting it into 3.8 is even better 😄 |
