Rails core - Aug 2009 - Removing used options from ARGV on script/runner

I''ve run into a problem when using script/runner with a gem that uses
optparse (namely, twibot). If I use:

script/runner -e production my_script.rb

, the twibot end blows up because it doesn''t recognize the
"-e"
option, which stays in ARGV after script/runner has used it.

Of course this can be easily solved using  "RAILS_ENV=production"
instead of "-e production", but I think letting runner pass down the
"-
e" to the script being run is inconsistent, since it does delete
code_or_file from ARGV (line 34).

Is this behavior intentional, or can I write a patch to fix it?

I don''t believe it''s intentional, it should really be removing
everything before the script name / script body from ARGV.  Please do
send in a patch, sounds like a nice little fix.
