Yes, it's one of the many obnoxious features of UN*X that to get a feature
for most programs you need '-' something or other.  To any sane person
'-' something would tend to mean that the feature would be revoked not
invoked.  Another related gripe is that, even though the overpriced C
programmers bible says that the order of command line parameters should
not be important, it almost always is, even in very frequently used
programs such as 'ls'.  It complains bitterly if '-last' occurs after
the filename(s).  The form of command line listed in the Subject line
is inherently insensitive to order, much like the DEC TOPS-10 method of
submitting command parameters.
