Hmmm.  For one thing, you'd have to specify the token characters
manually.  You'd have to do something like

darcs replace --token-chars '[a-z\-]' -- --hello-world --goodbye-world foo

The '--' tells getopt that the remaining arguments are not flags.
It's an option that's accepted by various commands (e.g. diff):

$echo hello > foo
$echo goodbye > --bar
$diff foo --bar
diff: unrecognized option `--bar'
diff: Try `diff --help' for more information.
$ diff -- foo --bar
1c1
< hello
---
> goodbye
