Description

Some programs take option like arguments (i.e. options starting with --) as data. In other option processing libraries, `--` can be used to explicitly mark the end of options to be processed.

While we can workaround this by manually splitting the argument list before passing it to `Command.run`, it would be great to see support for this in Command.
