Usually tools support a `--` option for that, e.g. with `rm`: rm -- --file-that-looks-like-a-flag

  rm ./--file-that-looks-like-a-flag ;) (I'm always half-tempted to suggest that a "strict mode" shell should require all paths in arguments to start with either / or ./ so that anything else is unambiguously not a file.) (I spent a bunch of time with a file named -i in my home directory, you know, just in case.)

    thank you for your feedback, I take it all into consideration, I will try to fix it during the day :D

    At least globbing should return fully qualified paths (not sure there is an established term for `(<directory>/)+<file>' paths, as opposed to `<file>` ones).
