In article 1397, Zoltan said he'd fix $[$[1+2]+3], and apparently he has.
Is there some reason why $((...)) doesn't nest? I asked in article 1414
whether there other differences between $[...] and $((...)). There's
exactly one mention of $((...)) in zshexpn.man, which says only that it's
the same as $[...].
In article 1426, I asked why array subscript flags such as $foo[(f)...]
don't work with $foo[@] and $foo[*]. Does anyone else want them to?
In article 1428, I pointed out that zsh's "getopts" builtin doesn't seem
to properly handle some error cases, by comparison to bash. I don't have
ksh to compare to that. Does anyone think "getopts" is a problem?
In zsh-users article 257, I asked why there's no (:L) modifier, to go
with the (L) flag; similarly (U) and (:U). I also hoped for a better
error message for unrecognized modifiers. Any comment?

That's a bug again. The fix is below.

That's a bit more difficult because in this case $foo should be split.
$foo[(f)@] is interpreted in params.c while splitting is done in subst.c so
this cahnge is not trivial (but it is probably not difficult).

I think that zsh getopts is ksh and POSIX compatible. I do not use getopts
but you can compare it with the ksh version. pdksh is free and the AT&T
ksh93 can also be downloaded and used free from
http://www.research.att.com/orgs/ssr/book/reuse/.

I think we can live with this inconsistency. The biggest problem here that
there are too few letters in the alphabet. Probably that's why (L) is not
(l). But there is a bug in the parameter modifier code when a modifier is
used on an empty array and the diagnostics can certainly be improved.
Tell me if you like the behaviour after applying this patch.

Shouldn't that be:
while (*++str && *str != endchar)
?? Otherwise you could go wandering off the end of str ...

At least it will be obvious that something is wrong. It should be
impossible for a null to come before the endchar.

Yes, that is better.
I note that unrecognized glob modifiers are silently ignored; is that
intentional? (I realize that this patch wasn't addressing globbing.)
