_call_program

[Oliver Kiddle]

An undocumented feature of _call_program is, quoting Sven from 9897, that
"If the value of the style starts with a hyphen, it is only prepended
to the strings given as arguments."

I've never used this feature before but it doesn't quite do what I want
now. It prepends the strings so the command ends up as an argument to
your replacement command. I wanted to use the style to add extra
options to the command. I can't think of any situation where you might
want this command passed. So does anyone use this feature as it is and
does anyone mind if I apply the patch below?
