I realized the source of my previous loading problem:

(bye
   (if
      (vip~vi
         (make
            (while (opt)
               (let S @
                  (cond
                     ((pre? "+" S)
                        (link
                           (cons
                              (cond
                                 ((= "+" S) T)
                                 ((format S) @)
                                 (T (cdr (chop S))) )
                              (opt) ) ) )
->>>                 ((pre? "-" S) (load S))
                     (T (link S)) ) ) ) ) )
      0
      1 ) )
`((pre? "-" S) (load S))` this is the offending line: it checks if the
argument string starts with a "-" to load it, but then it does not get rid
of it, so it looks for the file with a "-" prepended.

In summary, if you write `vip -@file.l hello`, it will try to load a file
named "-file.l", instead of "file.l"
