An odd difference between 'cat file' - (nf)

[Bill Dietrich]

	I filed an MR to the BTL Unix maintainers a long
time ago about this (not expanding wildcards after '<' and '>').
I was told that the reason was that this could easily lead
to unintentional arguments :
	cat abc def >>x*
expanding to :
	cat abc def >>x1 x2 x3 x4
which would be bad.

	My response was that not only is wildcarding dangerous
in the current state (rm -fr x*), but there are cases where
the shell silently ignores weird expansions (cd x*).  They
were unmoved.
