Thanks for your reply. 'rm a a', of course, is not confusing. In practice it
would be something like
% rm a* a
or the example that originally prompted me to suggest the feature,
% rm regexp* regex*
It's arguable that the shell should be doing something smarter in these cases.
But that isn't going to happen.
