Actually, playing around more, it's not even acceptable: something like

   my_wrapper  target_program --help

will trigger my wrapper's --help option. And I definitely *do* want that 
and perhaps some other options that could potentially conflict.

Is there a way to get the behavior I want with Boost or am I out of luck?
