Is there a RM_TILDE_WAIT?

[Florian Hofmann <fhofmann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all!

In a sudden lapse of reason I deleted part of my home by typing "rm -rf ~"
instead of "rm -rf *" (to delete the folder content). While "rm -rf *"
warns me, "rm -rf ~" just went on and wracked havoc.

I know this probably happen doesn't happen often (at least this is the
first time I did this in 10+ years of Linux usage), but to prevent this
from happening "rm -rf ~" just trigger the the same prompt as "rm -rf *",
shouldn't it?

Kind regards,
Florian

PS: Fortunately I did a full backup just this morning, so nothing is lost.
