Right, but you can still escape it no?  You face the same issue with `find
. -name "*"`.  That's going to find everything.  This is just optimizing

search for literal *, extremely common to want to search for wildcard
stars, and everyone is already familiar with the way you get around it and
force a search for a literal *
