27799	If 'args' is used on a custom LabelCommand or AppCommand subclass, only the last positional arg is supplied to the command	Matthew Somerville	nobody	"argparse has undefined behaviour if add_argument is called twice with the same name – Django does this for LabelCommand and AppCommand when self.args is used, the first call to parser.add_argument('args') in BaseCommand, the second in LabelCommand/AppCommand.

What appears to happen is you get only the last positional argument supplied to your command; if the '*' and the '+' had been the other way round, you would get nothing.
