Well, afaics most of the other linux command line tools don't support
such stuff
Well, I'd actually prefer if most of them did. But (re-)implementing that
everywhere wouldn't probably make sense and not everything works with stdin
so things aren't always that easy. Here's a slightly cleaned up version of a
helper script I've had locally to help with this for some time:
$ urlwrap.sh less --
http://scop.fedorapeople.org/scripts/urlwrap.sh
$ urlwrap.sh rpm -Uvh -- http://.../1.rpm http://.../2.rpm
