I think -help describes things pretty clearly, although, perhaps
"arguments" should be replaced with "workflow arguments":

swift <options> file <arguments>

If you put them after the file, then they are passed to the workflow. If
you put them before you'll get an error because the throttling
properties cannot be set from the command line.
