Expansion is a terrible mess right now and needs to be cleaned up, and that will require much thought and planning. I'd prefer to either make expansion much more similar to what shells do (i.e. make the general syntax more shell-like) *or* to do something completely different that does not interfere as much with the parsing of the underlying shell (maybe easier to understand and use).
