That really ought to have been the default behavior. Opting out only takes one or two extra characters. Well, three or four if you don’t habitually bracket your variable names, which you should probably be doing anyways
That seems like a more error-prone solution than the shell option. That would make it evaluate to rm -rf * which would probably delete your home directory, I’m guessing. And also put the burden of knowing the slash needs to be included on something completely disconnected from the expression. Nah, don’t do it like that.
