Eric V. Smith <e...@trueblade.com> added the comment:

But what if you don't want the expansion done? I always invoke python from 
cygwin's bash shell, and sometimes I tell the shell not to expand the 
arguments, such as:

python \*
or
python '*'

I wouldn't want python (or rather the C runtime) to do the expansion in this 
case, and I don't see how it could know not to do it.
