Commons CLI issue

[Russel Winder]

I think I must be misunderstanding something about the hasArgs.  The
program that follows produces:

    [javac] Compiling 1 source file
to /home/users/russel/Progs/OddsByLanguage/Java/CommonsCLI_Test
     [java] -D blah=Hello
     [java] -D burble=thing
     [java] -D flob=adob
     [java] -D print
     [java] 
     [java] usage: Usage statement
     [java]  -D    Definition of something.

in both 1.0 and 1.1.  I had assumed that print would not be treated a a
-D option.  Alternatively this is a bug in which case I will create a
JIRA issue -- unlikely I suspect though, much more likely to be
something stupid on my part.

Thanks.
