Subject: [ruby-core:76724] [Ruby trunk Bug#12634][Rejected] Ruby converts '*' on command line to a file name

Issue #12634 has been updated by Usaku NAKAMURA.

Status changed from Closed to Rejected

Anyway, although on Windows, use `'*'` to prevent globbing.

* Backport: 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN, 2.3: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
Repro:
- ruby script.rb *

puts ARGV[0]

<random file name>

This is annoying when passing glob as an arg. Also happens when passing anything starting with `*`
