+ * Check whether @s is one of the standard strings which indicate

+ * command option like -cpu or -M. The current accepted strings
+ * are 'help' and '?'. '?' is deprecated (it is a shell wildcard
+ * which makes it annoying to use in a reliable way) but provided
+ * for backwards compatibility.
+ *
+ * Returns: true if @s is a request for a list.
