This is working as expected.
Some people even stick files named e.g. --interactive into their
directories to use this as some kind of defense against accidental
deletion.
Most programs provide a -- command line option that says "further
arguments should be interpreted as files". But this kind of surprising
experience is inevitable in operating systems that don't formalize
command options separately from file arguments.
