} Why does the ~ not get expanded?  This doesn't work in 3.1.4 or 3.0.x
} for me.  I need to escape the ~ with a backslash here, too.

I dunno, but:

aztec[26] gunk=(schaefer glorb bobg flarn fox)
aztec[27] dirs=(~$^gunk)
zsh: no such user or named directory: glorb
aztec[28] setopt nonomatch
aztec[29] dirs=(~$^gunk)
aztec[30] echo ${dirs##~*}
/home/schaefer /home/bobg /home/fox
aztec[31] echo $dirs
/home/schaefer ~glorb /home/bobg ~flarn /home/fox
aztec[32] echo $ZSH_VERSION
3.0.5-extended

(3.0.5-extended is 3.0.5 plus my patch collection, available on
ftp.brasslantern.com.)
