Expanding quotes



Hi everyone,

mkdir test
cd test
touch file file\' file\"
ls *\"<TAB>

results in:

% ls file file\" file\'

although the result of the pure glob *\" is correct, and only contains
file\". This confused me yesterday, where I almost got the impression
that the quote was breaking the match.

Another tidbit:

% ls *[\']<TAB>

doesn't expand entirely, although it globs correctly file\' when executed.

The problem only exists with the quote/double quote (in both forms).
