Not the way bash behaves:

In bash:

$ echo {a..j}
a b c d e f g h i j

In zsh:
% echo {a..j}
{a..j}
% setopt braceccl
% echo {a..j}
. a j

That's buggy. And the support for "-" is a bad idea:

% echo {2014-01-08}
0 1 2 4 8

so that one cannot use dates in braces (very useful for svn users).
No problems with bash.
