Recalling that the original spec was:
- the function has one optional option '-l' with no parameter
- the first parameter can't be completed
- subsequent parameters are files
I think _arguments has done the right thing, because any string other than
"-l" might just be a first parameter that happens to begin with hyphen.
However, if the spec had been "the first parameter must not begin with a
hyphen but cannot be completed" then I don't know how to express that in
the current _arguments syntax without using a state machine, which seems
like overkill in this situation.
