Title:
  ufw should error if arguments given to "ufw enable"

Status in ufw package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Consider the following:

  # ufw enable OpenSSH
  Command may disrupt existing ssh connections. Proceed with operation (y|n)? y
  Firewall is active and enabled on system startup

  ...but of course the OpenSSH application profile has not been loaded;
  the word "OpenSSH" was silently ignored.

  It is (IMO) a reasonable user error - the syntax "sounds" like it
  should work.  And the warning message is a great red herring, sigh.

  So, I believe that ufw should check to see if there are other
  arguments specified after single-argument commands, and throw an
  error.

  behavior verified on ubuntu 12.04 Version: 0.31.1-1; i took a quick
  look at the ufw release notes and it does not seem this is addressed
  in any subsequent releases.

  thanks!
