If you're going to hack your profile already, you might as well just
implement the logic there, so that it works on all the systems you
carry that profile to instead of only those where rm has been hacked:
function rm {
local rmopts arg
for arg
do
case $arg in
-*) set -A rmopts -- "${rmopts[@]}" "$arg";;
*) command rm "${rmopts[@]}" "$arg" || return;;
esac
done
}
