That's not a problem with "rm"; that's a bug of the command-line interface
in general. Not fixable, IMHO.

All programs which use the normal command-line parsers understand "--"
as the standard workaround for this bug. That's not an rm-specific feature
either; it even works with shell scripts.  ;-)
