Yes, that's right. But -c cannot be repeated (has no + sign in the usage), so
you cannot ever use it as a positional argument.
I believe Karl is correct here and this is not a bug.
If someone thinks it is a bug, they should probably point to the documentation
that says you may you positional arguments at all (i.e. "where it says
you can omit the -cell").
