Agreed, given that "set args" is supposed to treat the entire argument
list as literal without any processing.
(Hm... should there be a flavor of "set args" that does shell-style
expansion of the args list? That sure would be handy for cases where
I want to debug a program that's being handed a wildcard, or some
similar expanded argument, and I end up having to expand it manually
when inside GDB...)
