Why doesn't this work?

[Stephen Talley]

% touch a.Bz
% ls *.(#i)[bg]z
zsh: no match

>From the manual:

   Globbing Flags
       There are various flags which affect  any  text  to  their
       right  up  to the end of the enclosing group or to the end
       of the pattern; they require the EXTENDED_GLOB option. All
       take  the  form (#X) where X may have one of the following
       forms:

       i      Case insensitive:  upper or lower  case  characters
              in  the  pattern  match upper or lower case charac­
              ters.

Can't see any reason why the above wouldn't work...  I've tried
it in zsh 3.1.9 and 4.0.2.

Thanks,

Steve

zshexpn:

       When  using  the ksh syntax for grouping both KSH_GLOB and
       EXTENDED_GLOB must be set and the left parenthesis  should
       be  preceded by @.  Note also that the flags do not affect
       letters inside [...]  groups,  in  other  words  (#i)[a-z]
       still  matches only lowercase letters.
