I'm not sure what the criterion should be, and I don't really care
if file-expand-wildcards saves match-data or not, but it does
seem that file-expand-wildcards is rarely used (more specifically,
it's used twice in emacs/lisp/* plus one comment in complete.el
saying that it could now be used there) and more importantly that
few code if any would do
match...file-expand-wildcards...use match-data
So I'd be interested to know Michael Ernst's code that broke because
of file-expand-wildcards not saving match-data.
Stefan
