I didn't know about jshell, but I was wondering if maybe jdb should have some 
other prefix to use to pass args on to the debuggee. For backwards 
compatibility, it would have to continue to support special casing the args 
that it currently special cases. Maybe we push through this PR as-is to resolve 
this specific issue for loom and file a separate RFE to add -R support.
