ls * matching files starting with --? #11534Description
This issue also exists in Bash. Fixing it might incur more costs.

ls: unrecognized option '--abcd'
Try 'ls --help' for more information.
This is a complaint about Linux I saw on the internet: when there are files starting with -, ls * fails. Although this is caused by the Unix command-line design, it seems impossible to fix.
(Perhaps we could try prepending ./ to files starting with -, like converting --abcd to ./--abcd?)
