generaltoption with extra arguments

shouldn't this be >0 ?

because now when using simple_option

bla x
gives me an optionparser.args == ['x']
but
bla x y
gives me the error in the next line.

Also ALLOPTSMANDATORY seems like a misnomer, because if I want an optionparser that just gives me arguments, and needs no options (but gives me the logger and stuff) I need to do

from vsc.utils.generaloption import SimpleOption                                                                         

SimpleOption.ALLOPTSMANDATORY = False                                                                                    
go = SimpleOption(None, None, None, None, None)

the >, yeah, that's a typo.
not sure i understand the second remark

$ python -c 'from vsc.utils.generaloption import SimpleOption;SimpleOption.ALLOPTSMANDATORY = False;go=SimpleOption();go.log.error(len(go.args))'

the second remark is that
bla x y gives an error because args is not empty, and when setting ALLOPTSMANDATORY=False it does not.

so making opts non mandatory makes args possible, which is not really what you would expect.
and mandatory options are a contradiction, either they are optional, or they are mandatory :p
