Good programs that deal with files should be able to handle these things
without relying entirely on the shell.
If I remember correctly, the shell's file globbing part is actually
handled by glob(3), part of the standard C library (and specified by
POSIX.2). It really is sloppy programming if any software tries to do
globbing internally (rather than pulling in the glibc version) and
should be reported as a bug in the software.
