;;; Commentary:

;; To force a command to invoked external, either provide an explicit
;; pathname for the command argument, or prefix the command name with
;; an asterix character.  Example:
;;
;;   grep        ; make invoke `grep' Lisp function, or `eshell/grep'
;;   /bin/grep   ; will definitely invoke /bin/grep
;;   *grep        ; will also invoke /bin/grep
