Of course, a*b and a**b do have identical functionality. ** only becomes
special when it has a slash after it. I suppose SH_GLOB could disable it.

I've lost track of what happened to the strcoll() situation since PWS's
regex-like implementation of globbing was put in. There used to be #if 0
code in glob.c (as of workers/7185) but it has completely disappeared.
