It gets worse. In newer versions, rm does this behavior by default, without being aliased to rm -i.
In this case, you'll need to unset rmstar to get rm to not annoy you. You see, they discovered that advanced users were aliasing rm to rm -i -- Can't have that! Oh no! As soon as they find out that people are unseting rmstar, they'll change it to some other behavior that you'll have to find, figoure out and change. After it breaks things, of course. I still have not figured out who "they"is..... Is it my imagination, or is UNIX (et al) getting more and more like all the other annoying operating systems?
