Like other tools, runcon needs a '--' separator between the runcon arguments and the arguments of the command to be run. This causes confusion for some users. Documenting the use of '--' in the man page as sudo does would help, without needing to change the way runcon parses its command line arguments.

The man page is also broken in that it states "Any additional arguments after COMMAND are interpreted as arguments to the command.", which does not reflect current behavior.
