I guess the right thing to do regardless of option is that it should
fail gracefully just by returning status 1 --- so not propagating the
error to the caller.  If the effect of NULL_GLOB is we loop over nothing,
that presumably gives us status 0?  I'd say we should probably detect that
as a (return status) failure for minimum surprises.
