Use of '--' on the command-line


  And here's a suggestion: it would be nice if Lispworks complied with
Posix by ignoring what's after '--' on its command-line (all other
compilers currently do so).

AFAICUI, the current behavior is to ignore options unknown to Lispworks,
and leave everything in *line-arguments-list*. This is almost OK because
you can pass any user-specific option to your session, but the problem
is the risk of collision with options that Lispworks already handles.

For instance, you cannot currently say something like this:

lispworks -load mystuff.lisp -- -build myprog ; myprog non-existant

because Lispworks tries to handle -build itself.

Resistance is futile. You will be jazzimilated.
