If the value passed to glob doesn't contain a wildcard, it is passed through untouched.
As for the why, if there is no file of that name existing, you'll need someone with the historical perspective (merlyn?). Maybe, just so that it doesn't affect non-wildcard parameters? Examine what is said, not who speaks.
Silence betokens consent.
Love the truth but pardon error.
