From cat(1):
The cat utility reads files sequentially, writing them to the standard
output. The file operands are processed in command line order. A single
dash represents the standard input, and may appear multiple times in the
file list.
What sense do multiple appearances of '-' make on the cat command line,
how is that supposed to work?
