  SVN rev 216423 on 2010-12-14 01:16:56Z by delphij
  
  IEEE Std 1003.1-2008, Section 1.4, Utility Description Defaults says
  that when the options section is listed as "None", utility shall
  recognize "--" as a first argument to be discarded.
  
  This implementation is largely based on OpenBSD implementation but
  we do slightly differently:
  
  a) We skip argv[0] as the first step;
  b) We test whether the next argument is "--" and ignore it.
  
  With this change one will get:
  
  %printf
  usage: printf format [arguments ...]
  %printf -v
  -v%printf -- -v
  -v%
  %printf --
  usage: printf format [arguments ...]
  
  Which matches the behavior observed on a Debian system but different
  from the Illumos change.
