The order of options intentionally matters. Options only affect files
that follow them on the command line (or within a command file). So I
don't think that there is a bug there.
Ah, that's good to know.  So the bug is that this behavior is not 
documented in '--help=options'.  :)
Does that mean that it does not 'return' after reading a -c, so that only one -c can be used?
