   The coreutils FAQ documents that you should really consider rm -- *
   (any time an argument can be generated that can look like an
   option, but should not be one, then use -- to make sure it is not

   Furthermore, the coreutils FAQ documents that filename expansion
   can exceed command line length limitations,
   
Only on systems that I don't touch thankfully! :-)
