The point is that there is no functional reason that Vim has to use "-" to mean that its buffer contents are coming from stdin. My guess is that Vim's use of "-" is another quirk resulting from its historical connections to vi, ex and ed.
I wonder if it's something that could be changed by adding something to 'cpoptions' or whether Vim needs to decide about it before its startup files are sourced.
