While it is probably useful to have every place where expansions occur list
which ones apply, perhaps it would (also) be useful to include the general
principle which controls all of this.
That is, expansions are performed, late (just as commands are about to
be run, after all parsing has finished
I suggest avoiding enumerating exclusions (including removing any existing
ones), and adding an explanation that "expansions that can produce multiple
words are excluded".

I also noticed that there doesn't seem to be an easy way to expand
braces with Readline, which I suspect may have to do with where in the
parsing process of Bash brace expansion actually happens.
