It seems that this fix doesn't handle the case where -- is used as an argument to an option. For example, `script -I --` before v2.42 would interpret -- as an argument to -I, but the pre-scanning in that PR would break it. The value can come from a variable, e.g. `script -I "$VAR"` and `script --log-in "$VAR"` will usually work, but break if $VAR is --. Similarly, `script "-I$VAR"` will usually work, but break if $VAR is the empty string. The only approach without special cases seems to be `script "--log-in=$VAR"`, but it doesn't seem to be very popular.
