It doesn't say that xterm exits after doing either of those operations,
but what is really unintuitive is that the behavior changes whether
-h / -v is the first argument or not.
Conventional utilities don't have such a problem. For instance, I can
run "rm --version" even though rm is aliased to "rm -i" here.
