How to avoid `dotnet-script` swallowing arguments

I'm using dotnet-script for the first time, I'm getting some undesirable behavior I don't know how to fix.

My script expects a "-v" argument, but instead of that getting passed through, dotnet-script swallows it and prints out its own version number. This happens for the most basic of scripts:

#!/usr/bin/env dotnet-script

Console.WriteLine($"Hello World:\n{string.Join('\n', Args)}");

Example input/output:

> ./script.csx "hi again"
Hello World:
hi again

> ./script.csx "hi again" -v
1.4.0

How can I avoid dotnet-script swallowing arguments?

I know I could avoid using the -v argument in my script, but I'd like to avoid this behavior entirely so I don't come across other swallowed arguments.

I've never used dotnet-script before, but after a quick search I found this source which states:

"All arguments before -- are processed by dotnet script and all arguments after -- are passed to the script"

So it sounds to me like perhaps you just need to add -- before the arguments that you want passed to your script:

> ./script.csx -- "hi again" -v
