Picard don't handle command-line arguments as a Qt Application should, it has for effect to break the expected behavior for such application.
According to http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/PyQt4/qapplication.html#QApplication, args are supposed to come from the command line, those are common options supported by any Qt app (+ those for X11 eventually).
It happens we are not accepting them due to code at https://github.com/musicbrainz/picard/blob/master/picard/tagger.py#L683
A command like `picard -d -reverse` should work, and it isn't !
