The missing `-r` is a bug. It should be there. The `--` in this case
is optional because the positional argument cannot start with a dash.

It's unusual for a script to print a leading empty line. It's best to
avoid doing unusual and surprising things unless you have a good
reason. In this case I would suggest not printing the leading empty
line in the script. If you need it, print it prior to the invocation:

    print && script
