Hello everybody,

I would like to ask if it is possible to disable expanding asterisk when it
selects all entries ?

`$ rm * .jpg` with a mistaken space between asterisk and .jpg will delete
everything in your home directory or in the entire disk.

In my opinion, when the user asks to select "everything" which could be `*`
or `path/*`, bash has to show a confirmation prompt to check if the user
was not mistaken, this option should be obviously disabled by default

Another idea: `*` and `/*` should not be interpreted and the user has to
enter another sequence "more powerful" to emphasize selecting all entries (
`^*` would it work just fine ?)

Cordially,
