Actually the cause of the confusion is not agreed upon,
as evidenced by the continuation of this discussion!
I'm perfectly happy with things as they are now, so that:
echo `{ls /dev | grep mouse}
echo /dev/*mouse*
produce the same output. If you want to fix something, figure
out how to fix the kernel. If 9P servers were required to sort
their directory entries then the kernel could just toss entries
easily during a merge. Not that I'm proposing this.
