feature request $UNEXPANDED_COMMANDLINE

Binary package hint: bash

"rm * .o" deletes all files. This is not a bug in rm since bash expands * to match all files. Strictly speaking it isn't a bug in bash either, but it would be nice if bash set a variable such as "UNEXPANDED_COMMANDLINE" so that we could alias rm to something like:

if echo $UNEXPANDED_COMMANDLINE | grep "[*] [.][[:alnum:]]]" >/dev/null
    echo I don\'t think you wanted to have a space between the '*' and the '.'
else
    rm "$@"
done

Note:
1) /proc/$$/cmdline give the expanded cmdline, so that is no use.
2) "set -f" isn't useful, unless I alias every command to do its own (safer) expansion.
3) To reproduce, repeat the following and note that the second ls doesn't see any files
$ ( mkdir -p tmp ; cd tmp && ( touch f.c f.o ; ls ; rm * .o ; ls ) )
f.c f.o
rm: cannot remove `.o': No such file or directory
