arguments are interpreted as options

The command-line parser interprets arguments to options as options if they match existing options. Example:

Assume
-a arg
-b arg

-a b -b a was fixed in CLI-71, but

-a "-b" returns
Unable to parse command line: no argument for:a

-a "-c" is OK if "-c" is not defined as an option.

The option in my case was "-password" and their password happened to match one of the options.
