You should treat this "feature" of glob the same way you treat:
my $foo if 0;
and those stupid:
perl -e ' ... }{ ...'
tricks, as in, it works for now, but I wouldn't promise it in the future.
As in, my answer started with a joke. Hence the smiley. But I did have a
puzzling question about this recurring need for "all combinations" and always
stated rather abstractly, without the real-world need backing it up.
