Ah! So that's not even zsh's native opinion on the subject. There is a
forgivable confusion there since filename globbing and pattern matching
look so similar. I often wonder when and where zsh relies on other
libraries and programs. This is a very good example of that sort of
thing. It short circuits any whining I might be tempted to do since
it's not even zsh code. Thanks, this is the sort of deep answer that
parts many clouds. I need to look to regex syntax for any answers I
might want.
