Command line options to scala misbehaving

[griggt]

Compiler version

3.0.1-RC1-bin-SNAPSHOT-git-d66a81c

Output

$ ./bin/scala -Xprint:typer
Unrecognized option: -Xprint:typer
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

$ ./bin/scala -help
Usage: java [-options] class [args...]
           (to execute a class)
   or  java [-options] -jar jarfile [args...]
           (to execute a jar file)
where options include:
    -d32	  use a 32-bit data model if available
    -d64	  use a 64-bit data model if available
    -server	  to select the "server" VM
                  The default VM is server,
                  because you are running on a server-class machine.


    -cp <class search path of directories and zip/jar files>
    -classpath <class search path of directories and zip/jar files>

Expectation

scala -Xprint:typer should start the REPL with tree printing after typer phase

scala -help should show help for scala, not java

Notes

Other command line options may be broken as well, these are just the first two that I tried.

This seems to be a recent regression, it works as expected in 3.0.0-RC3.

Even in its help message, Scala asks, WWJD?
