Please do not hold up RAR as a shining example of how command line
options should be specified or parsed. It is right up there with
"tar" and "dd" in terms of its cryptic and unconventional command line
format.

Unlike those venerable utilities, however, it was not written before
these conventions became common, so it has no excuse for this
behavior.
