Very Computer

using Bash V1.14.7(1) I'd like to define a shell function or an alias
which lists files (as ls does), but temporaryly doesn't treat dot
files special.

Manually I'd type this:

  declare glob_dot_filenames                    # version 1
  ls -la *abc*
  unset glob_dot_filenames

Or better (for it leaves the state of glob_dot_filenames unchanged):

  ( declare glob_dot_filenames; ls -la *abc* )  # version 2

But how to define a new command 'lsd' to behave like this?

What I've done so far is a combination of both an alias and a shell
function:

  alias lsd='declare glob_dot_filenames; lsdfunc'
Now
  lsd *abc*
does what I want.
But this is like version 1 above.

What I'd like to have is an equvalent to version 2 above, that doesn't
blindly unset glob_dot_filenames, but restores the previous state.
How could I do that most elegantly?

Regards,
  Martin
