Before Django 1.8, management commands were based on the :py:mod:`optparse`
module, and positional arguments were passed in ``*args`` while optional
arguments were passed in ``**options``. Now that management commands use
:py:mod:`argparse` for argument parsing, all arguments are passed in
``**options`` by default, unless you name your positional arguments to ``args``
(compatibility mode). You are encouraged to exclusively use ``**options`` for
new commands.

Make sure you know what you are doing if you decide to change the value of
this option in your custom command if it creates database content that
is locale-sensitive and such content shouldn't contain any translations (like
it happens e.g. with django.contrib.auth permissions) as making the locale
differ from the de facto default 'en-us' might cause unintended effects. See
the `Management commands and locales`_ section above for further details.
