My understanding of this is that one can easily avoid the annoyance of
having to use "--" by at least two different techniques.
As mentioned in
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2023-11/msg00864.html
the proposed feature will change the Emacs behavior in incompatible
ways, so there's also a significant disadvantage to this proposal.
So on balance, I think that we should not add this feature.
