When called as picard -e <command> <path> it fails to load the <path>. In the example above it is `.` but I've used the absolute path as well and it fails as well.
When called as picard <path> -e <command>, it loads.
So that leads me to the conclusion that either it isn't parsing those positional arguments the way it was presumably intended based on picard --help OR the --help is wrong and the positional arguments belong before the flags.
