--- Comment #3 from Bob Bishop <rb@gid.co.uk> ---
(In reply to Steve Wills from comment #2)

Since you can run any command as an arg to (the shell invoked by) su, it's
unfortunately impossible to make the sets of options disjoint. Consider eg the
contrived:

su -c staff fred -c "ls -c"

which has three option spaces.
