The reason that wildards and such are supported is that this is
basically unmodified code from a shell I wrote, except for nsh_exec()
itself. Of course, I could have it look for certain characters (|, $, *,
?, etc) and have it load 'sh -c' instead of processing. If someone tells
me exactly what it should do, I can do an implementation. (I think, even
with a bb patch...)
