It would be nice to freeze argparse.py and its dependencies. For command-line tools, startup time is important.

This would include freezing the modules that argparse depends on, etc.

@ericsnowcurrently @dawnwages Is this being handled as part of the stdlib module freezing for WASI?

[ericsnowcurrently]

I wouldn't rely on that for this.
