Thanks, installed.  There are still many ways to make the code fail, tho.
I think the better solution would be to pass the whole argument to

Cannot do
(compile "cd /u*r && echo wow")
will get
cd: No such directory found via CDPATH environment variable

OK, but add "kindly don't use wildcards" etc. to tell the user this is
