While working on #1315 and #1332 I did a rethink of the terminology for talking about arguments, expecially options and option-arguments. Pretty happy with how it worked out in that content, and considering rewriting README to match.

Some background research is in #1332 (comment)
Terminology
The command line arguments are made up of options, option-arguments, commands, and command-arguments.
-
followed by a character, or--
followed by a word (or hyphenated words), like-s
or--short
For example:
my-utility command --option option-argument command-argument-1 command-argument-2
In other references options are sometimes called flags, and command-arguments are sometimes called positional arguments or operands.
