Option parsing is expected to stop after a bare double-dash (--). The current shortcuts for --help don't honor this. When creating wrapper commands that are expected to pass user-provided arguments to an underlying command, this can capture unintended options.
It's desirable to allow passing a -- to prevent the head command from parsing the remaining arguments.
