And here is a patch to do that. -- >8 -- teach bash completion to treat commands with "--" as plumbing There is a convention that commands containing a double-dash are implementation details and not to be used by mortals.

I have started using the former, as I find it a bit more convenient to write (and I think it is more readable when you are following up a discussion rather than writing a real cover letter or commenting on the patch).
