Interesting ... I would recommend adding brace expansion to the list of
things-not-done because I think it's a common cognitive error to include
brace expansion as part of filename expansion -- it's one of those
things you do on the command line to generate a list of the files you
want. In particular, *I* am subject to that cognitive error; whenever I
don't think carefully about it, I don't distinguish the two.
