If using parse_known_args() to get argument pass-through, and one of the "unknown" arguments has a value with a space in it (even if quoted!), the entire unknown argument (key=value) will be interpreted as the value of the first positional argument instead.
Example:
```
import argparse
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument("pos", nargs="?", default=None)
parser.parse_known_args(["--foo='bar'"])
# (Namespace(pos=None), ['--foo=bar'])
# As expected.
parse.parse_known_args(["--foo='bar baz'"])
# (Namespace(pos="--foo='bar baz'"), [])
# What?!?
```
Since *known* arguments with spaces in them are parsed fine, this looks to be regression in a lesser-used feature. |
