that an ... interesting ... decsion to put inputs before -- and commands/options after --

Most of the tools assume opposite default (like xargs for example). Sure, you can specify a different order but why make life harder for no reason?

Usage: " PROGNAME " [options] [URL]

But you can put options wherever you want, they are identified by the leading '-' char.
