>> But we could do something like:
>> foobar ./-toto titi
> Or stick a "--" after the command (is that a universal convention?)

not only I don't think it's a universal convention, but I can't think of
any easy reliable way to do that.  E.g. compare

    gcc -o foo -toto.c
vs
    gcc -c foo.c -toto.c
