Recursive globbing shorthand (a la **.c)

[Dominik Vogt <vogt@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Most of the time, I use recursive globbing to find files of
certain types, e.g.

  $ ll **/*.c

With the zsh here (4.3.17), recursive globbing works only
with a plain ** anyway (i.e. in "**x" and "x**" the ** works just
like a plain "*").  So, is it possible (or a useful future
feature) to make "**" imply a trailing "/*" if not with a trailing
pattern?  Then we could type

  $ ll **.c

as a shorthand, and the "traditional" uses would work without
change (e.g. **/*.c or **/foo).

(Note that on German keyboards, "/" and "*" are very awkward to
type in a sequence because both need the left shift key held and
the keys for the right hand are very far apart, so this is really
a usability issue.)
