Redid the way command-line arguments are processed. Before, Ledger used - and

-- to mean special things after the command verb was seen.  But now, what used
to be specified as this:

  ledger -n reg cash -payable -- shell

Is now specified as this:

  ledger reg -n cash not payable @shell

It could also be specified as:

  ledger -n reg \(cash and not payable\) and @shell
