Actually, yes and no.  Some commands, notably those using the GNU
getopt() family, understand the concept of "--" ending _all_ argument
parsing and anything after being a parameter and not a command argument.

Apparently zsh handles this differently from what was stated here
earlier.  If this is indeed the case this is arguably a zsh bug.
