Makes sense.  My beef is that it suddenly goes away when I ask "what is
the license of these two files".

I should've specified: for each non-directory command line argument.

I would draw a parallel with ls(1): if I type "ls" or "ls <dir>", I
expect that some entries in <dir> will be ignored by default.  However,
if I explicitly ask "ls .bashrc", I now expect that file to be listed,
with or without "-a".

IOW, it's line 261 that I'm against, not line 256.  :)
