Apologies if this already has been noted elsewhere or is for some reason a desired behavior, but it seems that ls doesn't behave as expected when matching spaces with globbing. For example, if I have the files "foo", "foo1" and "foo bar" in my directory, a call to

ls foo*

yields only foo and foo1. However, a call to ls "foo "* yields "foo bar" (sans quotes) as expected.

My understanding is that * is supposed to match any characters (except an initial . in *foo).

I'm not sure if it's an actual bug or anyone cares, but I decided to reported it on the off chance that it is.

Platform:
    Ubuntu 15.10,  4.2.0-16-generic
    ls  v. 8.23
zsh 5.1.1 (but also confirmed same behavior under bash 4.3.42(1)-release)

Cheers,
Ken
