It turns out that this doesn't fix the bug properly.
One issue is that it needs a similar fix in compiler/handle_options.m.
The other issue is that I'm not sure what the right behaviour should be
in the case of multiple grade options: if you do `mmc --grade tr --grade fast'
should this give you grade `fast.tr' or just grade `fast'?
The documentation is not entirely clear on this issue.
I think the right answer is probably that the last `--grade' option
should completely override any previous `--grade' options.
Tom, could you please fix this one?
