I've copied 'dbldash.patch' over from http://bugs.python.org/issue13922. I mistakenly added it to a closed issue. The patch is old, and should be revised. It is also missing tests for this '--opt=--' case, even though it solves it. I also reference this patch in http://bugs.python.org/issue9571, which tries to refine dbldash handling for PARSER, REMAINDER nargs. I'm raising the priority on this because the issue has a come up a couple of times on Stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/40685320/python-argparse-with-as-the-value
