/* ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ this is meant to support constructs such as "cmd >file*.txt"
* POSIX says for this case:
* Pathname expansion shall not be performed on the word by a
* non-interactive shell; an interactive shell may perform it, but shall
* do so only when the expansion would result in one word.
* Currently, our code complies to the above rule by never globbing
* redirection filenames.
* Bash performs globbing, unless it is non-interactive and in POSIX mode.
* (this means that on a typical Linux distro, bash almost always
* performs globbing, and thus diverges from what we do).
