Thinking about globbing, I think rm * is a mistake

The way I'd do programs is something like this:

So, you wouldn't rm *. You'd ls | rm.
You'd implement rm like this:
void main() {
foreach(file; stdin.byLine)
std.file.remove(file);

I'm not as experienced in Unix as you are, but there's some smaller quirks
I've noticed. For instance, if you're in the terminal and use the arrow keys
Unless things have changed dramatically in the past few years, SUA is barely
usable though. The shells don't behave the same way as their *nix equivalents
and the API coverage is spotty at best. If you really want to go the Posix on
Windows route I'd suggest either downloading GnuWin32 (for to

Please don't type it as is (that deletes files without problems
with spaces or '-', but will delete everything).
The -print0 is very useful. I use for instance to see the latest file

This is how you deal with spaces in filenames or '-'
find -print0 | xargs -0 rm
