The Informix-SQL demo script contains something like:

isql - - <<!
.
-- SQL statements --
.
.

!

We can't find this "- -" parameter notation documented anywhere.
Is it documented anywhere?, and what does it actually mean?? 
Naturally we've already figured out that it probably tells
Informix that the input comes from standard input, but perhaps
there is something more to it than that.

Any answers gratefully accepted.

Thanks,
	Philip.
