Changes to Pandoc's options to facilitate wrapper scripts:

+ removed -d/--debug option
+ added --dump-args option, which prints the name of the output file
  (or '-' for STDOUT) and all the command-line arguments (excluding
  Pandoc options and their arguments), one per line, then exits.  Note
  that special wrapper options will be treated as arguments if they
  follow '--' at the end of the command line.  Thus,
     pandoc --dump-args -o foo.html foo.txt -- -e latin1 
  will print the following to STDOUT:
     foo.html
     foo.txt
     -e
     latin1
+ added --ignore-args option, which causes Pandoc to ignore all
  (non-option) arguments, including any special options that occur
  after '--' at the end of the command line.
+ '-' now means STDIN as the name of an input file, STDOUT as the
  name of an output file.  So,
     pandoc -o - -
  will take input from STDIN and print output to STDOUT.  Note that
  if multiple '-o' options are specified on the same line, the last
  one takes precedence.  So, in a script,
     pandoc "$@" -o - 
  will guarantee output to STDOUT, even if the '-o' option was used.
+ documented these changes in man pages, README, and changelog.

     + Added '--strict' option for maximum compatibility with official
       Markdown syntax.
     + Added '-o/--output' option to send output to a file.
-    + Added '-d/--debug' option:
-      - Prints OUTPUT= followed by output filename (or blank) to stderr.
-      - Prints INPUT= followed by input filename to stderr, for each 
-        input file (if any).
-      - Sends output to STDOUT, even if output file was specified.
-      - This is intended mainly to make it easier to write wrappers.
+    + Added '--dump-args' and '--ignore-args' options (for use in wrappers).
     + Modified '-v' and '-h' output to go to STDERR, not STDOUT, and return
       error condition (2).  This is helpful for writing wrappers.
     + Reformatted usage message so that it doesn't wrap illegibly.
