filename generation (glob) syntax is common to all shell iirc
behaviour when globbing does not match varies

ksh: will pass the argument unmodified, which i believe is posix.

csh: depends on option nonomatch, if set lets the argument unmodified,
else (default) will print an error.
         csh% got light?
         No Match.

bash: has two options that controll globbing
         default is as ksh
         failglob: if set prints error, like csh
         nullglob: if set just ignores the pattern (i.e. replaces it with
nothing)

zsh: rtfm
