ksh(!93) for loop with wildcard and empty directory

I'm sure this is by design, but using something like for f in dir/* do echo $f done produces unexpected (to me) results if run against an empty directory. I'd have expected it to not execute the loop, but it actually calls it with f set to 'dir/*'. Now I know that I'm trying to protect...

soelim

SOELIM(1)						      General Commands Manual							 SOELIM(1)

NAME

       soelim - interpret .so requests in groff input

SYNOPSIS

       soelim [ -Cv ] [ -Idir ] [ files... ]

       It is possible to have whitespace between the -I command line option and its parameter.

DESCRIPTION

       soelim reads files and replaces lines of the form

	      .so file

       by  the	contents of file.  It is useful if files included with so need to be preprocessed.  Normally, soelim should be invoked with the -s
       option of groff.

       Note that there must be no whitespace between the leading dot and the two characters `s' and `o'.  Otherwise, only groff interprets the .so
       request (and soelim ignores it).

OPTIONS

       -C     Recognize .so even when followed by a character other than space or newline.

       -Idir  This  option  may  be used to specify a directory to search for files (both those on the command line and those named in .so lines).
	      The current directory is always searched first.  This option may be specified more than once, the directories will  be  searched	in
	      the order specified.  No directory search is performed for files specified using an absolute path.

       -v     Print the version number.
