Default value for argument gets assigned to option

"""
Usage:
    bug.py [--opt num] [ARG]

Options:
    --opt num   An option with a value

Arguments:
    ARG         An arg with a default [default: A]
"""

from docopt import docopt
arguments = docopt(__doc__)
print arguments

I expect this to show:

{'--opt': None, 'ARG': 'A'}

What actually happens:

{'--opt': 'A', 'ARG': None}

I’ll take a look into a fix tomorrow if I can.

Hey, what’s the status on this? I would really like to be able to set a default for an optional positional argument.

Same question as @bear24rw, anybody on the topic nowadays ?
