If you saw my two most recent posts on the issue,
it is comparably easy to tweak a sublcass of Arguments
such that it effectively ignores arguments from Drone.

For other batch drivers, which may supply command line
arguments in forms not easy to accommodate in Arguments,
a way to ignore unknown arguments would be useful
(er, essential).
