I don't understand what you think unzip should warn about. Warning about a 
strange looking filename with an asterisk in it makes no sense, as wildcards 
are a feature that has been added to unzip because it's useful.

You might argue that programs that have their own pattern matching features 
should use a different set of special characters to distinguish the patterns 
from those that the shell expands, but that's a bad idea in my opinion. 
Having multiple different syntaxes makes it hard to remember when to use 
which syntax.
