@Graeme : Cheers. I think of "the glob operator" as referring specifically to * when really it's one of a number of globbing operators. So my own misnomer.

By 'split-glob' he means word splitting followed by glob (or 'pathname') expansion (I know this much). Also splits are on whatever IFS is, so it could be just newlines or just spaces.
