Consider foo.(*)(.) as might be used e.g. as a pattern to zmv. I don't want that interpreted as "all executable files named `foo.'". There's also the minor issue of how you know whether to logical-and or logical-or the flags together. If you want logical-or, you still have to parse for the parens and stuff in the comma and new flags. Please let's not have arbitrary appending of glob quals until they are not BARE any more. -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.brasslantern.com Zsh: http://www.zsh.org | PHPerl Project: http://phperl.sourceforge.net
