Ick. Poor idea. "--" is the common end of options marker. "-" usually
means stdin or stdout depending on context.
Instead, say
rm ./-h
which is simply another name for the same file which happens not to
start with a dash.
| % touch foo
| % rm foo -h.espi
Doesn't that just scream "overly complex" to you?
