Comment (by AndreasK):

 I would suggest adding at least two new flags to `rtsopts=`.

 * One to disable all parsing of RTS flags except the ones included at
 compile time.
 * One to disable parsing of RTS flags passed via arguments but still allow
 parsing of arguments passed via ENVs.

 My suggestions would be to use `ignore` and `ignoreArgs` although I'm open
 to suggestions.

 I don't see a usecase for parsing argument RTS flags but ignoring ENV
 Flags but that would be a logical third option. (`ignoreENV`?)

 Although not sure how useful parsing only env is as well since it suffers
 from the same problem of applying RTS flags where one might not have
 intended to.
