The only time this would be an issue is for infinite sequences via range or a generator, which doesn't work anyway.

>>> p = argparse.ArgumentParser()
>>> a = p.add_argument('a', choices=itertools.count(0), type=int)
>>> p.parse_args(['10000'])
... hangs

Are there any other cases where coercing to a list wouldn't work?
