This patch fixes things. If the dashdash notation is not portable, then
backslashing each dash also works. i.e. '\-\-\-\-.. etc. but as you
mentioned something like that is less readable, but possibly not as bad
as a sed version.

It seems to work fine on Solaris with all versions of tr. I did just
blindly extend the '-' without thinking, though...I wonder if there are
systems that will get confused about it being a range. It might be
safer to just use sed anyway.
