I don't think that's entirely accurate. :)
You quoted the portion which had `grep -Ev` in your reply:

Checking with the man page, I find that -v stands for verbose, telling you
what's happening.
So Joe Wulf is explicitly talking about the -v option to
grep and your reply suggests that -v means verbose --
without any mention that you are referring to rm.
Within your own context that might have made perfect sense,
but I hope you can see how it's certainly not as clear to
others reading the various sub-threads in this topic. :)
Anyway, all of that was a distraction from the issue at
hand, which was the difference between interactive use with
extglob and non-interactive use without it.
