Hi,

Looks like the qualifer "(-)" doesn't make "(e)" works on files pointed
by symblic, on linux:

% ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/*(-e'.[[ $REPLY = *sda* ]].')
zsh: no match
% ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/*(-e'.[[ $(readlink $REPLY) = *sda* ]].')

%

it would be better if "$REPLY" contains name of the file pointed by
symblic there :)
