May I bring your attention one more time to the fact that using a dot
instead of asterisk has several advantages while achieving the same thing:
- dot is not a subject to shell expansion, thus being generally safer
- consequently, dot does not have to be escaped
- dot is one character shorter and more readable (escaping commonly
reduces readability in Unix constructs)
I think I've already made similar observations few days ago, which somehow
went unanswered. If there's a flaw in my reasoning, please speak up, thanks!
