Actually, you can. I do it all the time. It's not a good idea to use
"-" as the first character, though, because it becomes almost impossible

In that case, you can always use absolute paths, or adding ./ in front
the filename. I have some directories which begin with a -; to go there,
cd ./-whatever is ok. It may cause problems for some scripting features,
but I've never encoutered any so far,
