I understand the answer and it was courteously given, but just
technically speaking, is that a zsh issue? I'm seeing it as the
internal problem of ls. Remembering that the shell will do the
expansion of the argument, is it in any way up to zsh to parse any
'--M*' as special? In other words, Denis' question seems to suppose
that it IS somehow up to zsh to handle that, and I'm wondering if that's
correct.
