This is because the shell will expand the wildcard first, before
passing the expanded list to the rm command, so the shell sees:
rm ?n
then checks the directory for matching files, finds one called "-n",
and then executes the command:
rm -n
You have a similar problem trying to quote away the problem (using
rm '-n', say) -- the quoting is a shell thing, and you end up with "rm
-n" again.
