I've occasionally wanted a way to turn it *off* but that's mainly because I have some shell functions (wrapped in "noglob" aliases) that accept glob patterns as arguments and then expand them, and it's sometimes tricky to get the quoting right if I want to match a file with a '#' in its name or some such. (Programmers are used to avoiding the more usual shell metas, so I seldom have to match files containing '*' or '?'.) I don't recall ever wanting to turn it *on* in a context where I couldn't do so with setopt.
