Be fair Skip, we've already repeatedly acknowledged that the Unix model of shell expansion doesn't suit all use-cases for a shell. As have the designers of the shells, as they typically provide ways of turning off expansions. Its only Bart who insists that his way is always the best way, and that 40 years of Unix sys admins who have designed the shell to work the way they want are wrong. -- Steve “Cheer up,” they said, “things could be worse.” So I cheered up, and sure enough, things got worse. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
