Yesterday I read here how groovy it is that wildcard expansion is
done by the shell, so the semantics are the same for every command.

Today:

o 203% ls
gnuemacs.tar	patch.tar.Z
o 204% dd if=g*
No match.
o 205% set if=g*
o 206% echo $if
gnuemacs.tar

(SunOS 3.4 csh, but I'm sure they're all the same ...)
