huh? The numerical comparison (aka "spaceship") operator has nothing to do with either kind of globs.

      That's an instance of a glob operator. I suppose you might be refering to the <> token pair. What about it?

      I don't consider the following to show that the glob operator and typeglobs are related.

      1. The glob operator can be coded using the "<>" token pair.
      2. The "<>" token pair can be used to code the readline operator.
      3. The readline operator takes a file handle for argument.
      4. A typeglob contains a file handle.

      Updated: Removed original guess since it made no sense.

        Glad you realize they are not completely unrelated.
