Should we also add something like this note to every manual page for a program that operates on files as command line arguments after options w.r.t. operating on files whose names begin with '-'? It seems like if it's appropriate in individual manpages at all it's appropriate in all of them — it's one of the most frequently-asked questions by new Unix users that I've encountered. On the other hand, perhaps intro(1) or similar is more appropriate.
