I've only just noticed this change back in message 24585. Is there any
reason why globbing flags were not completed. This patch adds them.

Note that inside [[ ... ]] conditions, a bracket that is not preceded by
some other character is assumed to be used for grouping of conditions so
this won't work with glob flags at the beginning of a pattern.

One problem possibly due to your original patch is the following;
: */( <tab>
results in the /( being removed. I haven't worked out why but this
doesn't occur with the old zsh that comes with Debian stable.

I've also changed _globquals to use _message -e instead of plain
_message. This applies a tag and allows certain styles (such as fake) to
be used.
