Hello,
When the previous command was backgrounded (say "gvim
filename.c &") and then you try some other command using
Alt-., it expands to "&" and not "filename.c".
Is this considered a bug? Or correct behaviour that just
happens to be not useful in this specific case?
Thanks,

Hello,
I'm trying to match a patterm that requires the behaviour of
FNM_PATHNAME (from fnmatch(3)). Unlike, say, FNM_PERIOD,
