Details

(Whiteboard: [mach]) 

mach run and debug both consume all the remaining command arguments and proxy them to the invocation of the binary. Currently, we're using prefix_chars so mach doesn't intercept arguments destined for the binary. I just discovered argparse has a argparse.REMAINDER value which can be used for nargs. It has similar behavior and is less hacky.
I dug myself into my own hole. I have to do this out of necessity for bug 856392.
