Well, to whomever this may concern, then, since you did not express your views... :) Sometimes this makes sense, such as when we paste filenames containing backslashes in response to find-file, or when we determine the name of a helper program to use for some task. The key is that these things call programs of the underlying system, or work on strings generated with the underlying system. But that's not how eshell works. We would have to assume that eshell was used to run batch files or something similar, and that those batch files used aliases or commands starting with a '*' or something equally weird. Sorry for wasting time, here, if all of this was obvious, or if the decision has been made already.
