<p>There is an advantage to shell not expanding wildcards. It allows for doing: <code>copy *.txt *.bak</code>. To do the same in a shell which expand wildcards requires a loop in the shell, making it harder to run simple commands AND duplicating the same code all over your system.</p>
<p>I wouldn't mind being able to do <code>copy *.txt 's/\.txt$/.bak/'</code>.</p>
