I should have said "partial, non-continuious selections across a large
list." Simple cases like *.o, yeah, shell does fine. I mean like a list of,
2-300 files which have no common denominator. Suddenly the globbing gets
rather convoluted or you need to go through several passes whereas in a GUI
selection you can just go down the list holding CNTL and SHIFT-select ranges
and then execute one operation at the end.
