# We support the -n/--new restart flag, when it is in its own word, by
# stripping all words from the command line that are after the first -n
# following words[CURRENT] or before the first -n preceding it.  As far as
# _arguments knows, the -n flag does not exist, and argv should specify
# a single beeping specification.
