Good point. However, since it's unlikely that anybody will use it, maybe 
it's not important - more of a "this is how you could do it if you fixed 
the globbing problem" ;)

It's easy enough to fix if you use bash array variables, but I thought 
adding that was not supposed to be done? Or have people resigned 
themselves to bash extensions ;)
