This could happen when 'eshell-extended-glob' determines that a "glob"
is not really a glob. This mainly happens for remote file names with a
"~" in them, like "/ssh:remote:~/file.txt".

This means that Eshell globs can now expand the same way as if the
user had typed each matching file individually.

(eshell-no-command-globbing, eshell-add-glob-modifier): Handle spliced
globs.
