} It already works like that, and it only copies and unmetafies if there's
} a Meta character.

What I meant was (now that I have poked around a bit further), maybe
zreaddir() should be able to return unmetatfied strings on request,
which scanner() could then metafy before calling pattry() and when a
match is found, pass both to insert() ?

Seems wasteful for zreaddir() to unconditionally metafy when the
caller may need the name unmetafied.  However, this does mean passing
both strings through a lot of layers, so maybe not worth it for 4%.

The strchr() does shave it down a fraction.
