Positional Arguments and Options: Order matters

in the example), but not in between them:

borg create -s --progress archive path # good and preferred
borg create archive path -s --progress # also works
borg create -s archive path --progress # works, but ugly
borg create archive -s --progress path # BAD
This is due to a problem in the argparse module: https://bugs.python.org/issue15112
