A saner way of doing it is to have an explicit shell expansion procedure through which you can pass the path string. That way, we achieve clean separation of functionality. > Ripping it out like this is not an option. I agree we can't immediately do it, but we should strive towards a clean, safe API in the long run. Just keeping it around is not an option either. Adding more parameters or options is ugly, IMHO.
