The problem is that '*' matches anything, including multiple arguments. It is much like '*' in the shell. But shouldn't a* only match arguments starting with an 'a' like in the shell?
$ mkdir crap
$ touch crap/{a,b,c}
$ ls crap/a*
crap/a
Matching multiple arguments not starting with 'a' is not intuitive.
