Changes for users:
- (BREAKING) Forward flags passed after `dotenv run` to the given
command instead of interpreting them.
- This means that an invocation such as `dotenv run ls --help` will
show the help page of `ls` instead of that of `dotenv run`.
- To pass flags to `dotenv run` itself, pass them right after `run`:
`dotenv run --help` or `dotenv run --override ls`.
- As usual, generic options should be passed right after `dotenv`:
`dotenv --file path/to/env run ls`

Although this is a breaking change, it feels like the right thing to do. It also feels intuitive enough to move forward with. I'll merge this in. Thank you @bbc2 ! |
