This is basically the current definition but it recognizes `processed' args
as well as unprocessed ones. Is this distinction important for the places
get_next_argument is used? As a test, I redefined it essentially this way once

All you've got to do is
my ($arg)=get_next_argument();

At least :>
If one were to volunteer to do this, are there any standard test suites to
