command-line option to signify no more options

Actually, this sounds like a request for the command line to conform to user
expectations... Even if the functionality can be achieved with the current
option processing, not suprising users and implementing -- or -. is I think a
positive if extremely minor thing. That said, it cannot be implemented because
it would break a widely used kludge that is noted in the discussion of bug 22020
(See Steve's comment there on how to use targets that start with '-' to prevent
user invocation of 'private' or 'internal' targets).
