Bash error in quote handling





I think this is an error?

     star="*"
     echo $star  == <directory> looks good
     star=*
     echo $star  == <directory> looks good

     star='*'
     echo $star  == <directory> shouldn't this be *?
     star=\*
     echo $star  == <directory> shouldn't this be *?
     star='\*'
     echo $star  == \* shouldn't this be *?
     star="\*"
     echo $star  == \* shouldn't this be *?

bash 2.0.5b
