the
same `dest`

I have a command which accepts two different ways to specify a time --
either as a timestamp or as a duration in the future:
{{{
pause (--for duration | --until time)
}}}
{{{#!python
class Command(BaseCommand):
def add_arguments(self, parser) -> None:
group = parser.add_mutually_exclusive_group(required=True)
group.add_argument('--for', dest='until', action='store',
type=parse_duration_to_time)
group.add_argument('--until', action='store', type=parse_time)
def handle(self, until: datetime, **_):
pass
}}}
This works fine on the command line, however there doesn't seem to be a
way to make this work through `call_command`. Specifically there are two
sides to the failure:
- while I can provide an `until` value (as a string, which is processed by
`parse_time`) there is no mechanism to pass a `for` value if that's how I
want to spell the input
- the `for` value is always required and attempts to parse the (string)
`until` value passed, which then errors since the input formats are very
different
