I do not support this patch, as "--" only makes sense for tools that
actually take flags.
I pity that GNU basename(1), dirname(1) and printf(1) take flags,
however, see great value in being able to do

        $ printf --

and get what you asked for instead of some error message

        printf: usage: printf [-v var] format [arguments]

Cheers
