Your explanation that "-- marks the end of options" makes perfect sense and it is not inconsistent with what we do either. "grep" is an oddball that among its non-option arguments the first one _can_ be a non-path (namely, the single pattern you are looking for), but with your patch, that logic is nicely expressed, too. I am tempted to push it into 1.7.0 but I'd keep it in 'next' for now.
