'rm -I' a big hit!

I have been running with this in my /etc/csh.cshrc for the last few days
with a recent stable build (since the -I option is very new), as an
experiment to see if it would annoy me.
if ( $?prompt ) then
alias rm 'rm -I'
endif
The /etc/profile equivalent, for sh users:
alias rm='rm -I'
Well, it hasn't annoyed me at all! In fact, it has made me feel more
comfortable using rm, even though I don't make the kinds of mistakes
that rm -I saves one from anymore.
I strongly recommend it to everyone, developers and users alike.
