Now that I lived with this setting for a day, I don't think it's just
(transpose-words): "-" being a word character feels like the right thing
for shell commands. With that setting, the behavior of (forward-word)
and (backward-word) is much more pleasing as well. Arguments like a
standalone -- or - are treated like separate words, which is "right". If
you use shell-mode, try it:
(modify-syntax-entry ?- "w")
