But the glob function isn't used here. It's all about the glob operator. The fish hooks are quoting constructs, just like double quotes or slashes. And hence, variables, be them scalars or arrays get interpolated.

It's like doing glob "@foo".

    Ahh, I see, the fish hooks are implicitly converting the argument to a string. Ie. changing $" changes what happens. Thanks.
