> I think it's a mistake to refer to any of this as "glob expansion"

Since we are being pedantic regarding the terms, while I can't really find "glob expansion" in the Bash manual either, it documents a bunch of "glob" settings: "noglob", "GLOBIGNORE", "dotglob", "extglob"...[1]

FWIW, I expected to find these in the Bash info page on Ubuntu, but curiously, "info bash" does not show up the info page (just the fallback manpage) — "info find" does work. Whatever happened to (tex)info pages?
