Comment:

 Try {{{tahoe cp -r ./* URI:...}}}

 Since aliases cannot contain '{{{/}}}', the '{{{/}}}' before the colon is
 enough to tell Tahoe that the colon does not imply an alias (see
 [source:git/src/allmydata/scripts/common.py#L185]). This "{{{./*}}}" trick
 also ensures that a filename expansion is not misinterpreted as an option
 (works for any Unix command).

 This should be documented in [source:git/docs/frontends/CLI.rst]; will
 fix.
