First, this is established MS-Windows behavior of command-line utilities. 
For example, dir *\* does not work either (although it does have the /s 
option for searching recursively). If you need or want unix or posix 
behavior on MS-Windows, use Cygwin. Secondly, changing this would require 
adding new code for command-line expansion, which is now done by the 
msvrt-library. So, on the whole, I think it is best to leave this as it is 
now.
