Confusing error caused by bash-like pattern *"pattern"*

[NickVeld]

Describe the bug

The error with the pattern produces confusing error for other operator. I wrote a pattern in bash-style ( *"pattern"* ) instead of right ( "*pattern*"). I got Error: '|' expects 2 args but there is 1. My command was long with several | so it took some time to find the error. Since Bash is popular I do not think I am the only one who can do the same mistake.

Version of yq: 4.44.6
Operating system: linux
Installed via: binary release/

Input Yaml
Concise yaml document(s) (as simple as possible to show the bug, please keep it to 10 lines or less)

Command
The command you ran:

yq --null-input 'select(. == *""*)'
yq --null-input '... | select(. == *""*)'
yq --null-input '.a = 5 | ... | select(. == *""*)'

Actual behavior

Error: '*' expects 2 args but there is 1
Error: '==' expects 2 args but there is 1
Error: '|' expects 2 args but there is 1

Expected behavior

Something like:

Error: '*' is not valid in this context
Error: '*' is not valid in this context
Error: '*' is not valid in this context
