This patch makes redirection behave a little more like ksh.
It disables globbing on filenames in redirections, but only when
multios are disabled.  (Globbed redirections are a very useful way
to generate multios.)  Note that behaviour is still not exactly
like ksh, as brace expansion is still done.  But ksh seems to treat
brace expansion as part of globbing: compare "echo ~{root,nobody}"
in the two shells.  (KSH_BRACES, anyone?)

This patch as written relies on my recent large options patch,
that changed the NO_MULTIOS option into MULTIOS.  If you haven't
applied that, change "isset(MULTIOS)" to "unset(NOMULTIOS)".
