Separate `--` and `_` arguments

See original GitHub issue

I need the ability to get _ arguments and -- separately. Currently everything after -- gets placed into args._ so I can’t tell which was after the -- argument or which was part of the command. This is required to use in projects such as https://github.com/Qard/onchange.

Yeah I’m trying to think of how this could be added in a generally GNU-ish way but I can’t think of anything that doesn’t introduce yet another option. 😕 It’s a real edge case IMO, I don’t see many programs use -- as a major delimiter.

Also, for the find style behaviour, there’s no way to do this in arg today. Do you want to try and support this somehow?

Not really, no - their flags are positional as well (as in, order of flags matters), and they use single hyphens for long flags. It’s an entirely different parsing scheme that would more than likely be easier to implement in a custom manner - definitely out of scope for arg.
