Actually this one shouldn't be tried.  Globbing happens in the shell so 
would expand to rm -i -foo before being handed off to rm.

At any rate, ALWAYS do ls or echo first if there is any question, see what
is going to come out of a glob and then replace the ls or echo with rm.  
This ain't DOS with Norton Utils and an undelete.  :)
