command line processing order

[arnold@cc.gatech.edu (Arnold Robbins)]

This bit me the other day:

; ls
a	b	c	d
; cat * > foo
cat: input foo is output

The wildcard expansion is happening *after* the I/O redirection. The Bourne
shell and Byron's rc both do the wildcard expansion first, and I think this
is the right way to go.

Thanks,

Arnold
