Steps to reproduce

On Unix-like platforms, unquoted arguments that look like globbing (wildcard) patterns are automatically resolved to matching paths when calling external programs.

/bin/echo `*

Expected behavior

*

Actual behavior

(list of file and subdirectory names in the current directory)
