Description

An extension of #2566, seems like the typings for parse_known_args, parse_intermixed_args, parse_known_intermixed_args (and the undocumented _parse_known_args) of argparse.ArgumentParser were overlooked, as they all share the same pattern as parse_args for typing the namespace class.

Research direction

Locate the argparse.ArgumentParser stubs and compare the existing parse_args overloads with parse_known_args, parse_intermixed_args, parse_known_intermixed_args, and _parse_known_args. Add matching namespace-class overloads for the listed methods; done means their typings follow the same pattern as parse_args.
