Why not allow for both and accept the option at any location?

Something like:

systemctl --stop myapp mydb

systemctl myapp mydb --stop

All `--` strings should be "options". Starting/stopping a service is not an option, it's a command. I don't enjoy `pacman` for this very reason.
unnecessary flexibility brings unnecessary bugs
