As a sidenote, this will happen more often as monotone becomes more
widespread, since ppl tend to be confused by tools which implement
their own globbing syntax (cf. 'find'). Especially so when it's
differing from shell semantics or limited to a subset of it.

We had a discussion about this some months ago, and I still think the
current approach puts an unnecessary burden on users.

Cheers, Bruno.
