When positional argument with action='extend' is given to parse only one string argument, the string is splitted into individual characters.

The problem occures, when no "nargs" is given; it makes sense that nargs is requiered, though at least notion in documentation would be nice, as the issue does not occure with action='append'

Minimal example included.
