>  quick check, and when to expand the line

Yes I remember now - if you don't do the quick check
and you want to edit any file with any such character,
having a quote or apostrophe or parenthesis or some such,
like
e foo'bar
it will fail if it goes through wordexp.
You'd have to write
e foo\'bar
and who wants to do that?
What casual user is going to remember to do that or understand?
The error will really confuse people.
I was trying to keep the user interface
simple and clean for the masses, yet powerful for those of us
who understand and want to take advantage of the
mysteries of shell expansion.
