The first given argument other than options to @cmd@ designates
what to run.  Runnable targets are:

  - a file containing scala source
  - the name of a compiled class
  - a runnable jar file with a valid Main-Class attribute
  - or if no argument is given, the repl (interactive shell) is started

Options to @cmd@ which reach the java runtime:

 -Dname=prop  passed directly to java to set system properties
 -J<arg>      -J is stripped and  passed to java as-is
 -nobootcp    do not put the scala jars on the boot classpath (slower)

Other startup options:

 -howtorun    what to run <script|object|jar|guess> (default: guess)
 -i <file>    preload  before starting the repl
 -e <string>  execute  as if entered in the repl
 -save        save the compiled script in a jar for future use
 -nc          no compilation daemon: do not use the fsc offline compiler

A file argument will be run as a scala script unless it contains only
self-contained compilation units (classes and objects) and exactly one
runnable main method.  In that case the file will be compiled and the
main method invoked.  This provides a bridge between scripts and standard
scala source.
