    Well my understanding is that `--class` refers to a class that's in the 
primary jar, and this class may refer to other classes in other secondary jars.
    
    I also thought about the config thing too, but that means spark-submit 
behavior would be different if you had some hidden configuration somewhere, 
which is also not super intuitive in my opinion. Imagine if you intended to 
pass `--` to your application, but because you forgot to remove this config 
your application behaves differently (but does not fail immediately).
