...deleted hack

According to the 'erl' manual page it should be possible to stop erl
from interpreting arguments by doing this:

erl -s module function -- any-args

and the use 'init:get_args()' to get 'any-args'.
I thnk I know why nobody has suggested this. It does not work.
But either it should be fixed, or the man page should be updated...
