shouldn't rc return an empty list if the glob matching does not
succeed?  currently it returns the actual string it attempted to glob,
as in:

p9% for(i in /dev/sd??) echo $i
/dev/sdC0
/dev/sdD0
p9% for(i in /dev/sd?) echo $i
/dev/sd?
p9%

this causes cpurc to fail on diskless machines.

proposed behaviour:

p9% for(i in /dev/sd??) echo $i
/dev/sdC0
/dev/sdD0
p9% for(i in /dev/sd?) echo $i
p9% for(i in '/dev/sd?') echo $i
/dev/sd?
p9%
