Hi bug-gnu-emacs,
Event with --script, Emacs still displays its help when passed --help. This is
confusing for users (they might write emacs --script some-script.el --help
expecting to get help on the script, but instead they get Emacs' help), and it
force ELisp scripts to use --usage or some other harder-to-guess synonym.
Could this be changed so that emacs --script a.el --help does not show Emacs'
help?
More generally, could we guarantee that options that appear *after* "--script"
aren't processed by Emacs itself (and instead left to the script)? Or would
that break things?
Thanks!
Clément.
