It's kludge since you are special casing for some files and not for others e.g. rm abc vs rm -- -xyz. If Unix utilities had a different form of specifying args

It's kludge since you are special casing for some files and not for others e.g. rm abc vs rm -- -xyz. If Unix utilities had a different form of specifying args which didn't meddle/overlap with file names this kludge wouldn't have to exist.
