The problem that the glob check solves is subtle, and it only has to do with error messages. Imagine you want to read a file into the current buffer. You use the shorthand
r z* because you believe this will grab the correct file. But z* doesn't match anything. Since we are globbing you get the error message shell pattern doesn't match any files or something like that. Now if you're sure the file is called z*, or even zz, and you type r zz you don't want to get that error message. But that's what you get if you glob. I know that you didn't want to glob, and didn't mean to glob, and I give the other error message cannot open file zz Other than clear error messages corresponding to what you are trying to do, the check probably doesn't change a thing.
