What

The argv pre-scanner no longer has special handling for these two flags; they now reach the normal parser untouched.

Details
  • The pre-scanner no longer recognises --cloud or --remote, nor their =value forms.
  • It no longer consumes a following non-flag argument as a value for either.
Evidence

--cloud=

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
