This looks OK to me, but just to be sure I understand:  The flag you're
talking about in this context is "sub" rather than "incmdpos"?  For those
who may be attempting to learn the code, "incmdpos" really does mean "in
the command position", e.g., the first word in the buffer or the first
word after a separator such as ";" or "|", among other cases.

The "sub" flag doesn't directly mean "not a command line argument" here,
unless I'm mistaken?
