In note 4296 I wrote
   Quoting the parameter expansion cannot work - that always disables
pathname
   expansion

That is loose (ok, incorrect) wording, parameter expansion isn't disabled
by quoting, rather it is just ineffective - as all of the quoted
characters
are literals, so if the whole word is quoted (as in ls "${var}") pathname
expansion might as well be disabled, as only one pathname can possibly
result - that which is the exact contents of $var (with everything treated
literally).   Still this is not really "disabling" pathname expansion, and
I
should have been more precise in my wording.   This glitch has no effect
on
the substance of the note however.
