Hi David,

These arg parsing error messages are a bit odd:

    $ show -pref
    show: missing argument to -pref
    $ show -pref text/plain
    mhl: -pref unknown

Seems to be 85bc89701 from 2016-01.

I wouldn't blame that commit.  Without it:

    $ show -pref
    mhl: -pref unknown

    $ show -pref text/plain
    show: bad message list text/plain

Yes, but IIRC I felt that commit fixed half the problem without spotting
the other half needed fixing.  Not difficult to miss...

I think this gets back to the issue of programs not knowing about
the switches and arguments of programs that they call.  And so the
fix will have to wait for that to be resolved.

Yep.
