| Why is it the case? Shouldn't the glob expression just serve the !(8)
| pattern to exclude and simply do a no-op for the extra * character?
The '*' means "sero or more of the preceding", the preceding was
"not an 8" so anything which ends with zero (or more) not 8's matches.
Since everything ends with 0 (or more) not 8's (or not anything elses)
everything matches.
