What is lacking is knowing where to look for that kind of information.  
We have expansions, substitutions, designators, modifiers, operators, 
matches, globs, flags, subscripts and so on. Getting the overview of the 
jargon is what I must master so that I can pick the right chapter to 
read.  Searching for the above literally I see that is a glob operator.  
It is astonishing how much
syntax can be carried by just a few symbols.
