Comment:

 I tried to fix this, but I found that the design of simfactory is that the
 parfile is not changed between restarts.  Specifically, much of the logic
 for performing substitutions in parfiles is in the create command, not the
 submit command, and it does not seem to be trivial to change this.  Given
 this, I would say that the main bug is that simfactory doesn't abort when
 you give it options it doesn't understand.  This is essentially the same
 as

   #221 - Simfactory should complain about unused arguments

 which I have just modified to include a comment about this applying to
 options as well.

 Since you cannot change the parfile between restarts, I have created a new
 enhancement request

   #487 - SimFactory should allow steering of parameters between restarts

 This will require a bit of internal redesign.  I am closing this ticket,
 since it is now covered by the other two.
