__line: Support regex beginning with an hyphen (fixes #607) (#608)

If `regex` begins with an hyphen, `grep` treats it as an option
and treats `file` as the regular expression. This leads to `grep`
trying to read from the standard input and making it wait infinitely.

This patch adds the missing argument breaker `--` and allows
`regex` to begin with an hyphen (provided it is called correctly).
