It was mentioned by Michael as a possibility.  I chose it because is a
defcustom: it might reflect an user preference compared with 
shell-file-name which is given.

For example, my shell-file-name is bash.  I might customize
explicit-shell-file-name to '/bin/zsh', then i can
use '**/' zsh syntaxis in the wildcard expansion:
(let ((buf
       (dired-noselect (expand-file-name "**/*.el" source-directory))))
  (with-current-buffer buf
    (dired-toggle-marks)
    (length (dired-get-marked-files))))
=> 1731
;; => 277 ; If i would use shell-file-name

We might changed it if you don't like it.
