Subject: optparse: Arguments as Arguments Unexpectedness

Hi,

I am trying to use the standard optionparser to read in some arguments,
but one of those arguments is an argument itself. Is this a bug?

opt.rb:

require 'optparse'
OptionParser.new do |opts|
opts.on('-a','--args [ARGUMENTS]',String,"arguments") {|v| puts "Found:
#{v}"}
end.parse!

EXPECTED:
$ ruby opt.rb -a "-d me"
Found: -d me

ACTUAL:
$ ruby opt.rb -a "-d me"
Found:
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/optparse.rb:1445:in `complete': invalid option: -d me
(OptionParser::InvalidOption)
  from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/optparse.rb:1443:in `catch'
  from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/optparse.rb:1443:in `complete'
  from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/optparse.rb:1282:in `parse_in_order'
  from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/optparse.rb:1249:in `catch'
  from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/optparse.rb:1249:in `parse_in_order'
  from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/optparse.rb:1243:in `order!'
  from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/optparse.rb:1334:in `permute!'
  from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/optparse.rb:1355:in `parse!'
  from opt.rb:3
