The first use of -Q in _arguments happened sometime between workers/7450
and workers/10309, which (unfortunately for quick back-tracing) were all
slurped in as a single commit by PWS when we first migrated to git.  At
that point Sven was still doing 99% of the edits to completion and his
entries in ChangeLog are a bit terse.
