% mv ./---.dat foo.dat
Worth a try, i guess.
The readline() call stops interpreting command line options after it sees a "--" on it's own. So you can do:
mv -- ---.dat foo.dat
Then the "---.dat" will be interpreted as a filename, not as an option.
(Now if only I could remember where that was documented, I could point you to the documentation).
