It makes me super uncomfortable that globbing in Bash can turn into code execution. The fact that the name of a file can change the behavior of ls is scary. This also works for other commands that you tend to glob with, such as rm.

The 'ls' command showing files using the normal wide formatting. Once you add a file called '-l', then 'ls' starts showing files in the long listing format.
