`case' in shell scripts. Yes, POSIX also allow ( *.bar ), but old Bourne
shells don't.
case $foo in *.bar ) baz;; esac
That said, I think the global bindings for M-( and M-) are the right
thing.

I don't think such an error is very common. More or less every
unindented key stroke can cause somewhat unexpected results, but these
cause no damage and I think its unlikely to type M-) accidentally: you
need to hit Alt+Shift+Number, at least with US or German keyboard
layout.
Bye, Reiner.
