To be precise, you can't express "this file pattern OR this hierarchy"
with (pat1|pat2) syntax. The alternate patterns can't contain slashes.
That leaves using brace expansion to express "this file pattern" and
"this hierarchy" as separate patterns.
Which reminds me ... instead of this:
} > locate() { print -l /**/*${^*}*{,/**/*} }
You might want:
locate() {
setopt localoptions nullglob nocshnullglob
print -l /**/*${^*}*{,/**/*}
}
Do you see why?
