The original motivation was to be able to pass a command-line argument
that might be a file to the application. So, for example, I could do
MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/MyApp somefile
Stripping all non-options would obviously prevent that from working.
Normally I suppose you should use 'open -a MyApp.app somefile' and let the
NSDocument framework give you the file to open. However, I could see that
it could be useful in debugging or special runtime configuration.
