Look at the "FILENAME GENERATION" section of zshexpn(1).
% history -m "^" 1 # Shows everything
% history -m "^nosuchstring" 1 # Also shows everything
With EXTENDED_GLOB set, "^" matches anything except the empty string,
and "^nosuchstring" matches anything except the string "nosuchstring".
% history -m "$" 1 # Shows nothing
The character "$" is not special in patterns, so this only matches
the string "$".
