} I feel like there is a difference between "this is a valid glob that
} has no matches" and "this is a syntax error", and this is that
} difference.
If that were it then nobadpattern should fix it, yet for qualifiers it
still fails.
% setopt nonomatch nobadpattern
% echo x(z)
zsh: unknown file attribute: z
%
But on the other hand:
% unsetopt nobadpattern
% echo x(,)
x(,)
%
} % echo a(
} >
}
} also doesn't "work".
Close the paren and you get
zsh: unknown file attribute: \n
I can counter-example that one, too:
% echo x(:
> )
x(:
)
%
A missing numeric argument is an error, but an invalid colon-modifier
is not?
(I'm not really arguing that we should change anything, unless somebody
is convinced by this discussion that I should be.)
