I dunno. The fact that it displayed the text, and re-displayed the command
line, is a pretty blunt stick indicating that there was no match. In
particular, you'll see the list of matching files for the new match
listed... if that doesn't send up warning signals (assuming they're not what
you wanted to delete), it's hard to imagine what would.

this is exactly what i am afraid of, because if i do not notice that the
case chsnged and my intention is to remove only ab* but NOT A* then this
is dangerous. same with any situation where i'd overwrite a file.
