Until I read the current text I did not realize the trailing
paragraph was to apply only to point C (no "--" disambiguates and
throws errors) but somehow thought it was covering both point B
(with "--" you are strict) and C, and I didn't think of a good way
to incorporate it into both.  But yes, the final patch ended up to
be exactly what you suggested to handle the issue ;-)

Thanks.
