    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.
        I said the opposite, twice. Don't put words in my mouth.
