Sure.

Again, I don't understand. Just because we don't use the cwrapper in
a test, doesn't mean that the test would now magically fail to pass "--"
on to the real program. It simply doesn't exercise the cwrapper, but
hey, what's the problem with that? It may just help to avoid a bug in
the shell wrapper, too, given that it is exercised, and if neither, no
problem either.
Cheers,
