Unfortunately, that method ONLY works for those commands. Further,
LIST PAT only works for displaying *files*; if you want to do something
lie
ls /usr/{lib,spool}/news
or
ls /usr/games/r* src/r*
or anything involving 2 different directories, list will not work. It's
pattern matching algorythm is not good.
(Q: Why not put pattern matching into the global vector table? Then it
will work for all programs, including those non-BCPL ones that fake it)
