With the detriment that glowing might not behave like the shell does on your system. It would be nice to also support other shells (tcsh, zsh, ksh, etc) so that things would expand as the user expects them to.

I like the fact that we can expand things just like your shell does and we don't impose limitations by doing our own thing. So in order to not lose functionality, I propose we stick with doing shell expansions for now, and possibly add a non-shell based globber/expander in the future and somehow be able to select the internal globber if desired.

With variable expansion, backticks running other shell processes, and more, default environment variables that come with the shell itself running on the current system, I would not want to tackle all of this at this point.
