No, that's not a compromise I'll have to make.  I'm not making it today.

Having to type "--" or prefix with "./" to escape ordinary filenames
that do not start with "-" would be completely weird.  This is
important to me: I want you to see it, rather than relying on me as an
authority figure to say it (after all, I'm not such a great authority
anyway --- I make plenty of mistakes).
