heh - this will do what you want "\rm"

However, I have become so accustomed to using this form that I then to do it by default and have accidently removed files I didn't mean to ....

alias rm="rm -i" ends up being worthless because it drives the average user mad. But alias mv="mv -i" has saved me a few times and the same with cp.
