> Currently it is impossible to pass any arguments which start with the dash
> character through to the class specified by the "main" argument in standalone
> mode. The attached patch makes the command-line parser recognize the special
> getopt-style "--" argument which tells the parser to stop parsing for known
> arguments and simply pass all subsequent tokens on to the main method of the
> class being invoked. For the record, I am aware of the "args" option which
> looks to be intended for this purpose, but it doesn't work. Introducing the
> special double-dash operator seemed the best fix as it's a widely recognized
> idiom for precisely this functionality.
