I agree on the concept being brilliant, especially as it gives easy access to use regex instead of glob, which is rather clumsy to do in normal bash.

It also prevents a lot of accidental globbing.

I would need to use it for a while to decide if the extra syntax outweighs those benefits, but I like the way of thinking!

The worst "accidental glob" is Windows Powershell, where square-brackets in filenames means you can't pipe from "ls" into other cmdlets because it interprets the square-brackets as filter commands even when they read them from the filesystem itself.
