Right now `oscap` will generate a file called "--report" and put XCCDF
results into it. Without any complaints anywhere. But yeah, from the
documentation it seems possible to make it work as suggested by Shawn.

If people really want files starting with -- in the new version they
can just use --results=--crazy-file, I think that should work with
getopt.

Looking forward to the patch :-)
