I wanted to insert a string of '-'s to visually show a change in a list.
But  I found out that

      print "--------"

Does not print anything out. Well maybe a \n.

ls --------

ls: unrecognised option '--------'
Try 'ls --help' for more information.
 > ls -- --------
ls: cannot access '--------': No such file or directory

-- is useful for avoiding ambiguity

And is also used with zargs  ##  but is that he same thing?

zargs  /tmp/*(.m+30) -- rm
