Thanks for your reply.  'rm a a', of course, is not confusing.  In practice it 
would be something like

% rm a* a

or the example that originally prompted me to suggest the feature,

% rm regexp* regex*

It's arguable that the shell should be doing something smarter in these cases.
But that isn't going to happen.
