No, it's not, but I think that it's important to include it
there.  It's not necessary to include it with every utility
that uses getopt(3), but I think that rm(1) is a special
case since it's what a beginner will use in their last-ditch
attempt to get rid of that damn file that they _somehow_
created.

I would, btw, make the same argument for _adding_ the
mentioned NOTE to the mv(1) manpage...  <hint!> <hint!>
Arguably it's even more important to have it in the mv(1)
page than the rm(1) page (even if not historically correct).
