Question about sools

Should sools be able to handle commands like:

sools Makefile

and

sools M*

If so, how should we implement the call for M*?  By
default, UNIX will change this "M*" into a bunch of
filenames that begin with M, separated by spaces.  So
we're basically doing a bunch of calls to sools for
individual files (for example,

sools s*

is interpreted as

sools sools sools.cc sools.o sorter.cc sorter.h sorter.o ...

so we basically do a bunch of calls like
sools sools
sools sools.cc
sools sools.o
sools sorter.cc
sools sorter.h
sools sorter.o

That's not really necessarily the same as searching for
all files beginning with s...  Is there a good way to pass
in the *, rather than have UNIX interpret it?  And/or,
SHOULD we be doing that?

Thanks.
Tim
