[Sbcl-help] (open "/tmp/foo*.lisp")

[Tobias C. R. <tc...@fr...>]

Hi,

(open "/tmp/foo*.lisp") where the file `foo*.lisp' does in fact exist in
/tmp/ signals an error about "bad place for a wild pathname."

Next to knowing nothing about CL's pathname machinery, is this behaviour
sensible? If yes, what can I do about it?

TIA,

  -T.
