How should we deal with flags / command line options when scoring entries?

IF flags take arguments, those arguments count for the code length

For example, in Japt, -F"string" is a flag that prints "string" if the output is falsy - in my opinion this should add 6 bytes on to the length of the answer (in language Japt -F).

Ruby has -r<lib> to require a library outside the code and it also gets affected by this. I think it should be counted the same way since it's a full flag. There's some programming happening outside the program but it's already established that it effectively converts the answer to a different language.
