Subject: Automatic globbing of ARGV

I found a funny feature of Ruby tonight: if possible, commandline
arguments are automatically globbed. For instance in a directory with
one file foo.bar:

test.rb *.bar
=> ARGV = ['foo.bar']

test.rb *.html
=> ARGV = ['*.html']

Even the ** kind of globbing works.

I've tried to search google and the pickaxe book, but haven't found any
documentation on this feature.

Comments are appreciated.
