>Description:
	The expand(1) command cannot handle filenames which have a digit
	in position one. According to the source, this is "obsolete syntax".
	Since it is obsolete, it ought to be removed.
>How-To-Repeat:
	$ touch f123.txt
	$ expand f123.txt
	Bad tab stop spec
>Fix:
	Delete the statement in the source which checks for obsolete syntax.
