Re: wildcards
my preference is, when you're in control of the mechanism, don't use
eval and quoting, but pass around lambdas that do the matching. that
is, instead of using
'*' or '*\^' or 'foo*bar'
use
{~ $* *} or {~ $* *'^'} or {~ $* foo*bar}
that way the user of the function can use things other than pattern
matching if he (she? are there currently any female es users? :-)
wants to. for example, access is very useful in such cases.
