It doesn't matter, and is not the concern of the shell. It should restrict
itself to the basic
parsing that may be necessary when parameters are separated by white-space and
commas, if a
parameter can contain white-space or commas. That usually involves surrounding
the parameter
with quotes.
One would be very annoyed if, reading a CSV file, where each of N values on a
line correspond to
a field of record, if one entry of "?LBC" expanded itself to a dozen entries,
screwing
everything up.
Now you're suggesting the _shell_ is going to read and process a CVS file???
Shell command line processing shouldn't be attempting anything more than that.
I get awfully tired of your constant pontificating about your opinions. I know they're _VERY_
strongly held beliefs on your part, but... they are ONE person's opinions and are no more than
opinions and they ain't gonna change nothin', no how, no way, not ever.
