Tests in another package assume that a trailing iconv command line argument -
will be handled as inputfilename /dev/stdin, whereas it appears to be handled
as an invalid option flag, and generates a usage error and message. 

Has this changed between releases or since the last release, or supported with
some build option?

Or could I suggest that the tests be changed to conform to the implementation?


Testing lesspipe 2.13 with iconv 1.17 under Cygwin 3.5.3 with MS Windows 10
build 19045.
