.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Conway discourages the use of the \f(CW\*(C`<..>\*(C'\fR construct for globbing, as
it is easily confused with the angle bracket file input operator.
Instead, he recommends the use of the \f(CWglob()\fR function as it makes
it much more obvious what you're attempting to do.
