How can I prevent Stata from expanding an argument varlist?  This is the
context:

. clear

. gen abc = .

. confirm variable b
variable b not found
r(111);

. confirm variable abc

. confirm variable a

I want -confirm variable a- to have a non-zero return code, because the
variable name is not exactly "a".

Thanks,
Alex
