I am not sure I understand correctly: do you say that "noglob rm *" should ask whether user wants to delete all files? It is not correct: due to the definition of "noglob" "noglob rm *" is "rm '*'": you ask do delete file named star, not to remove all files. Coreutils commands do not expand their arguments as it the job of the shell which in turn was told not to do this as well (noglob). Unless you use cygwin AFAIR.
