in thread Isn't glob annoying? (somehow)

First off, my camel book has a slightly different text ("such as a shell would do"), and if I look at your results, then this 
$ echo *jd
*jd

contradicts the behaviour in @t3 in my example.

    It's a BSD glob. The original BSD shell is the csh, not the Bourne shell or some derivate of that. 
        $ ls *1
    *1 not found
    $ csh
    % ls *1
    No match.
    % exit
    $

    I also noticed that it contradicts to @t3 example, but command next to it explains glob('1') behaviour.

    And yes, I agree that glob's behaviour is somewhat tricky, or even more to say, weird.
