Giving extra arguments on a command line is not an error.
There's such a thing as "too few arguments", but no such thing
as "too many arguments".
Yeah, I understand there may be a bit of confusion for people
used to daemontools and switching to s6. They are still
different commands, with different documentation, and it's up
to the users to pay attention to the syntax of the tools they're
using. Sorry.
There *may* come a time when I add the handling for N arguments
to some s6 commands (s6-svc comes to mind), which is another
reason why I don't want to treat too many arguments as an error
for now.
