Right!  It's one of those things that's easy to overlook until some 
weird name bites you.

Thanks Roman.

BTW as it stands now my filtering issue on the other thread:

For globbing for files on the disk: ($zsh_case = '(#i)'):

     [ "$wild_msg" = 'WILD' ] \
                 && eval "wholedisk=( $zsh_case/**/*$1*(/N) )" \
                 || eval "wholedisk=( $zsh_case/**/$1(/N) )"

For string searches in the directory stack:

for (( aa = 1; aa <= $#cc; aa++ )); do

# These are full names, $1 may be only a partial match if we are WILD.
dirname=${cc[$aa]:t}

if [[ "$scope_msg" = 'BROAD'                  && $dirname = (#i)*$1* ]] \
|| [[ "$scope_msg" = 'Case INsensitive TAME' && $dirname:u = $1:u ]] \
|| [[ "$scope_msg" = 'Case Sensitive WILD'      && $dirname =~ $1 ]] \
|| [[ "$scope_msg" = 'EXACT'                  && $dirname = $1 ]]; then 
; # Do nothing, we have a match.
else cc[$aa]=    # Kill the line, it does not match.
fi
done

... any further improvements?
