Deno: Cannot pass an argument `-A` to scripts

[Fenzland]

test.js

#!/usr/bin/env deno

console.log(Deno.args);

> ./test.js -B
[ "./test.js", "-B" ]

> ./test.js -A
[ "./test.js" ]

That's because -A is an alias for --allow-all permission flag.

But I just pass it to the script rather then deno.

It's unfriendly to let coder to avoid all deno options when design scripts, and change API when deno add a new option that the script happen to use.

Yes, agreed. There's already issue for that #3011 (title is different but it's the same underlying problem)

./foo.js -B -- -A is also monstrous, maybe -- also use in script.

Duplicate of #2798.

We seem to have agreed there that simply passing everything after the script name to the script would be most desirable... though nothing's happened.

3011 is unrelated: it says that deno penetrates the -- when seeking more unnamed arguments (like the module name). That's not occurring here. The -- for this usage works fine but people don't like it.

This should be fixed after #3389 landed
