comment Building Qt: 'make clean' causes everything to get recompiled?
Well, I think my main problem was that I thought what you were trying to explain was "already" a make distcleanand not make clean. I had assumed make clean to be a lot less "drastic". :) Obviously I was wrong.

Yeah, you're right: that demos/examples stuff is indeed a very huge part of the story. Saved me lots of time indeed. I knew that already, but thanks for pointing it out anyway. :)

comment ls: Do not show directories that match same pattern in wildcard searches, only files
Ah! I should have thought about greping for ^d. I didn't think of that, obviously. Thank you.

Thanks. That's better than nothing, in any case.

comment ls: Do not show directories that match same pattern in wildcard searches, only files
There is actually nothing much to "edit". So again: I want the tax* files in the current directory to be listed, but the directory "invoices2010" which resides in the same working directory and which also matches the given *2010* wildcard pattern should be skipped in the listing.

No, it would not be a good start at all. In my example, I wish to have the tax* files listed, whilst your solution would simply list all directories that match the pattern without showing their file content. That's something completely different.

comment What is the purpose of the lost+found folder in Linux and Unix?
Valid point, however: these CAN become quite a nuisance anyway. For example, when trying to to a find operation on one or many ext[2|3|4] partition(s) from a non-admin user's account, you will always get these entirely unnecessary "permission denied" errors. Certainly, there are ways to circumvent those kinds of errors - but it's a bit awkward because the standard find . -name '*whatever*' won't do the trick.

comment Auto-expansion problem with array elements containing an '*' (asterisk)
@Serge I was well aware of the grep -v pipe "solution" from the beginning, even before opening this question. However, please try to start thinking of real huge directory trees, and what significant differences in completion time you might eventually be encountering! This could even sum up to whole minutes of difference in the long run.

comment Auto-expansion problem with array elements containing an '*' (asterisk)
In one word: FANTASTIC! I would never have been able to pull all that off by myself (yet), because I'm still learning the advanced stuff like functions and arrays (after considering myself safe enough in the basics, which took way longer than I had expected). Thank you very much, your approach looks as if taken from a textbook.

Upvote - OK done, but I don't want to put the check-mark on it yet because it might give the impression that the question might be in a sort of "closed" state. Several approaches are usually a better way of learning new things and ways, though.
