This is originally what I did because I thought it made more sense that way; however, the 
rc-scripting[1] article says not to do it.

Note: Never include dashed options, like -X or --foo, in command_args. The contents of 
command_args will appear at the end of the final command line, hence they are likely to 
follow arguments present in ${name}_flags; but most commands will not recognize dashed 
options after ordinary arguments. A better way of passing additional options to $command 
is to add them to the beginning of ${name}_flags. Another way is to modify rc_flags as 
shown later.
