quoth man su:
You can use the -- argument to separate su options from the arguments
supplied to the shell.

$ su -c vi -- /etc/fstab
Unknown id: /etc/fstab
$ su root -c vi -- /etc/fstab
(... root vi session with no file loaded ...)

I am trying to switch to su from sudo in most cases, because I am afraid
of the latter's complexity; but running stuff with arguments is _such_
a pain with su!
