- How can I disable csh-style history expansion within shell character classes?
- For example:
-
- cp ../skeleton/.[!.]* .
-
- to set up a user's account.
-
- As ! here indicates inversion of the character class, I think it
- should be added to the set of special cases where it is not expanded
- as history.
