./manage runserver --nostatic still doesn't return a traceback

[Michael]

Maybe its regression, related to: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/27522:

> python manage.py runserver --nostatic
usage: manage.py runserver [-h] [--ipv6] [--nothreading] [--noreload] [--version] [-v {0,1,2,3}] [--settings SETTINGS]

                           [addrport]
manage.py runserver: error: unrecognized arguments: --nostatic
