Hi,
a complain I've heard about zsh is that
mcopy a:* .
doesn't work like in bash, because zsh doesn't just give unmatched
globs to the programs (which is a GOOD thing). With this little code,
it works also in zsh, and you get a nifty tab completion, too :)
Perhaps it could be added to the examples section.

my-mcopy () {
mcopy `mtools-glob "$@"`
}
mtools-glob () {
for i in "$@"; do
case "$i" in
[aAbB]:*)
echo -n "$i "
;;
*)
echo -n "`eval echo $i` "
;;
esac
done
echo
}
alias mdir='noglob mdir' # no glob expansion on mdir a:*
alias mdel='noglob mdel'
alias mcopy='noglob my-mcopy'
compctl -f -x 's[a:]' -s '`echo ${$(mdir -X)##*/}`' -- mdel mtype my-mcopy mcd mdeltree mdir mrd mren
