Not so:
Remaining arguments are strings passed as command arguments to PROGRAM.

"Remaining arguments are strings passed as command arguments to program."

Thanks Chong and Bastien, it is there, but wouldn't it be good if it
were more explicit?

"Remaing arguments ARGS" would perhaps be clearer. But ARGS is quite a
standard way of referring to such remaining arguments...

And looking back again to the comment, I think the reason for not using
"Remaining argument ARGS" in the first place was to keep the whole line
under 75 characters - avoiding rejection of "PROGRAM" on a third line..
