I think on balance that's one of the things DOS got wrong. I find the Unix way of doing arguments much nicer. Part of that is consistency: that rename command may be convenient, but it's pretty strange and counterintuitive that it treats the wildcard differently from most other commands, and the same convenience could have been achieved with another syntax.
