Inside a command substitution, I want to do a variable substitution but
not a filename expansion on the variable's value.  I cant seem to get one
without the other.  For example:
/* End of text from uiucdcs:net.unix */

Turns out there is a trivially easy solution.  Just set noglob before the
embedded command is executed to inhibit filename expansion.  In this case it
would work.  But suppose you wanted some combination of filename expansion
and no expansion within the same expression.  Pretend you couldnt use 
noglob, just to make it interesting...

Some of you may notice a problem using "'"s within "`"s.  It seems that
the characters after a "'" are forgotten.
