Oh, I agree with that. Not just interactive -- I can't see any
circumstance in which I'd really _want_ anything different. My guess
would be that, sadly, the "'*.foo' with no matching files expands to
*.foo" behavior was originally intended as a _feature_ for interactive
use. Isn't that weird?
"Those guys" got a lot right -- but a lot wrong, too.
