Content
This behavior is intentional - positional arguments must be sequential, not broken up with optional (flag) arguments between. So this is a documentation bug. Allowing positional arguments to be broken up with optional (flag) arguments between them would be a new feature. It would also break many current parsers, so it couldn't be turned on by default. A new constructor parameter or method or something would have to be added to ArgumentParser. Patches welcome.
