> The command-line parser interprets arguments to options as options if they 
> match existing options.  Example:
> Assume
> -a arg
> -b arg
> -a b -b a was fixed in CLI-71, but
> -a "-b" returns 
> Unable to parse command line: no argument for:a
> -a "-c" is OK if "-c" is not defined as an option.
> The option in my case was "-password" and their password happened to match 
> one of the options.
