Subject: 25.2; eshell/sudo reads -u from command arguments
Date: Sat, 17 Jun 2017 17:36:12 +0100

Running

	eshell/sudo pacman -Su --noconfirm

Fails with

	sudo: unknown user: --noconfirm
  sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin

This is because `eshell/sudo' reads the -u argument of the subcommand.
I suppose that it should not use `eshell-eval-using-options' for parsing
arguments, or that the latter function should be extended to support
subcommands.
