But if you are going to run
 port install '*abc*'
you don't know to which ports this would expand.
 port echo '*abc*'
gives you the expanded list.

So it is really some kind of diagnostic tool. Should 'port echo' also
verify the expanded list?


That sounds like functionality I would expect from "port search" but I worry that there are some advanced uses that I'm not considering.
