Interesting.

About 90% of the time, I run grep with the "recursion" flag, so I 
haven't thought about wildcard expansion in ages.

   grep -R "some text" .

I do know that "wc" does wildcard expansion, even with paths, but you 
have to use forward slashes. So, to count lines in D programs from the 
windows shell:

   wc -l /dev/*.d

Unfortunately, there's no "recursion" flag for wc, so I end up doing 
something dumb like this:

   wc -l /dev/*.d
   wc -l /dev/*/*.d
   wc -l /dev/*/*/*.d

Etc.

Hmmmmmm. I really should just compile my own wc. After all, Walter's 
already written the sample code.
