   These days I just use "parseargs", which does the same thing but remains
   compatible with existing C runtimes by operating on an argv and coming with
   source code.

Is either one of these bright enough to do expansion against things
other than files? I'd love to be able to do:

break mem* c

to kill a collection of processes...
