Better yet, just don't put any arguments at all.

Oh, wait.  That's where we came in to this discussion.  :-)

Seriously, that's why I like the behaviour of commands like this that
give a usage message when I don't type any arguments.  That way I can
run the command, look at the usage then hit the up arrow and add my
arguments without having to backspace.
