Perhaps.  I think the original reasoning was to compute only where
dash_dash_pos will be needed, but the code changes over time, and
places that need the value of dash_dash_pos would change over time,
so from that point of view, I think it makes sense to make sure it
gets always computed like this patch does.

I am not sure if this is a good change, though.  It goes against the
reasoning that makes the above "dash-dash-pos" change is a good one,
doesn't it?  When the code changes over time, wouldn't it make the
code more clear to keep track of the count of args it saw in a
separate variable, than relying on the invariant that currently
happens to hold which is "if dash-dash is after the first argument,
return 2 and otherwise return 1"?

Non-standard indentation?  In our code, a level of indent is another
horizontal tab.
