[shell-discuss] KSH93 FIGNORE behavior

2008-06-12 Thread Lin Ma
According to ksh93(1), I will agree with you. But given that FIGNORE only affects filename completion in other shells (at least in bash, zsh), do you think it is reasonable or considerable to be introduced into ksh93? Is it really useful to affect wildcard char "*" and the command like "rm -f *"
