What's with the overly-noisy quoting of dashes here? To match a
string that happens to begin with a dash, either one of
$ grep -e "-this string begins with and has-many-dashes-in-it" file
$ grep "[-]this string begins with and has-many-dashes-in-it" file
would be sufficient and more idiomatic.
Or am I missing some other reason why the test is written this way?
No, it's just my lack of experience. Thanks for your fix! I have applied
it in V3.
