arguments are interpreted as options
------------------------------------

                 Key: CLI-148
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-148
             Project: Commons CLI
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: CLI-1.x
    Affects Versions: 1.1
         Environment: Debian stable x86 with Sun JDK 1.6.0_02
            Reporter: Matt Ray
            Priority: Minor


related to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-71

The command-line parser interprets arguments to options as options if they match existing options.  Example:

Assume
-a arg
-b arg

-a b -b a was fixed in CLI-71, but

-a "-b" returns 
Unable to parse command line: no argument for:a

-a "-c" is OK if "-c" is not defined as an option.

The option in my case was "-password" and their password happened to match one of the options.
