Robert Dale commented on TINKERPOP-1940:
----------------------------------------
I disagree. {noformat}`--` is a special case that says ignore any `-` or `--`
args after this. It does not allow you to pass arguments starting with `-` to
other parameters.
The normal way of referencing a file starting with `-`, as goofy as that may
be, is to use `./`:
`bin/gremlin.sh --interactive ./-l`
{noformat}
You can try to 'fix' it if you want, but it's really not standard and I don't
think it's worth the time and effort even as trivial as it may be.

> 1+1
> $ bin/gremlin.sh --interactive -l
> bin/gremlin.sh: line 85: $3: unbound variable
