| Huh? The '-' is quoted by the double quotes and should therefore be
| treated literally.
The problem is that there is nothing in either TC2 or TC2 + 985-fix that
says that should happen. And without that "should" is really just
wishing (based upon what shells actually do, or most of them).
The issue is how to specify it so that everything works correctly, for
all the cases of sh pattern matching, and for the other users of fnmatch()
Ideally:
find dir -name 'pattern' -print
should list the same filenames (in a different order/format) as
ls dir/pattern
lists, for all possible patterns (temporarily ignoring leading
dot issues, if there are any), and
ls dir | while read f
do case "$f" in (pattern) printf '%s\n' "$f";;
esac; done
should (again, ignoring '.' issues for now) print the same list.
