to what does the "bare" in bare_glob_qual refer? as
far as i can tell, if bare_glob_qual is set, filename generation
will accept qlob qualifiers, and if it is not set, it will treat
text inside parens in a glob as part of the glob itself; there is,
however, no way that i know of to unset bare_glob_qual and then
use glob qualifiers in some "un-bare" way. is there?

See zsh_users/1569:
My intention is that eventually we will have some other, unambiguous,
glob qualifier syntax, which will be available regardless of
BARE_GLOB_QUAL. (We need the capability to disable the current
qualifier syntax in order to fully emulate ksh glob syntax.)

So "bare" means that they're just sitting there on the end of the pattern,
with no special disambiguating syntax to introduce them.

but, as of yet at least, there is no non-bare syntax? that is,
if bare_glob_qual is turned off, can glob qualifiers still somehow be
used?
