} outputs "c is part of a-z" on every shell except current zsh.

This is related to long-standing behavior for zsh in native mode.

In as-close-as-zsh-has-to-POSIX mode:

schaefer[655] ARGV0=sh Src/zsh
$ myrange='a-z'
$ somevar='c'
$ case $somevar in
> ( *[$myrange]* )  echo "$somevar is part of $myrange" ;;
> esac
c is part of a-z
$ 


In native mode you need to use $~param to activate pattern characters
in the expanded value:

schaefer[656] Src/zsh -f
torch% myrange='a-z'
torch% somevar='c'
torch% case $somevar in
case> ( *[$~myrange]* )  echo "$somevar is part of $myrange" ;;
case> esac
c is part of a-z
torch% 


It's true that needing this inside a character class now differs from
previous versions of zsh for native mode.  I'm not sure it's possible
to have it both ways.
