Editing this code made me realise that jq '$ARGS.positional + [ .foo ]' file1 file2 --args str1 str2 --jsonargs '"json1"' '"json2"' '"json3"' --args str3I never realised that, that's funny. =) |

jq previously only allowed passing the inline script before -- (as if they were options) even though one would expect the inline script to be a positional argument. Since jq previously also refused to run with a usage error if the script was passed after -- (It was not assuming . as script as it does when no arguments are passed), and positional arguments are allowed before -- and even before other options, it should not be a breaking change to change that weird behaviour, and allow the script to appear after --. It also simplifies the option parsing code a bunch. Fixes jqlang#2918
