Should we also add something like this note to every manual page for a
program that operates on files as command line arguments after options
w.r.t. operating on files whose names begin with '-'?  It seems like
if it's appropriate in individual manpages at all it's appropriate in
all of them =97 it's one of the most frequently-asked questions by new
Unix users that I've encountered.  On the other hand, perhaps intro(1)
or similar is more appropriate.
