Re: alias rm "rm -i"

[David King]

In newer versions, rm does this behavior by default, without being
aliased to rm -i.
I roll to disbelieve.
Newer versions of what?  AFAIK only a few braindead Unix  
distributions monkey
with rm like this.  It's not like this is going into GNU rm.

Since he says:

In this case, you'll need to unset rmstar to get rm to not annoy you.

I assume that 'rmstar' is a shell variable, and he means that it's a  
shell with an 'rm' function replacing the behaviour of 'rm'  
specifically?
