This could cause serious surprising breakages of scripts with strange

should be changed in this regard to break bad habits then it should be
the failglob option although I am not convinced that it is too good idea
either.
I was thinking about failglob also, but it is not that useful like it looks.
for name in *; do ...; done
In the current state, if there isn't any file, the name variable will
contain *.
With nullglob name will be empty and script continues after the for loop.
With failglob it will print error message. I think it is not useful.
But you are right, it will cause many breakages (even surprising).
