>Description:
The man page for the rm command doesn't mention the '--' option, that is
necessary to delete files beginning with a '-' (dash).
I'm also submitted an identical pr for the mv command man page, which has
the same problem, so you know.
>How-To-Repeat:
PAGER=less; man rm
then in less, search for '--'
>Fix:
Mention the option ;)
