Obviously, for code to go into the zsh distribution, it would be most preferable for it to be released under the existing zsh license. >I would say the proposed case-blind option is very much fiddling with >the semantics of the filesystem. No, that's an additional option in glob patterns. Doesn't affect the apparent behaviour of the filesystem at all. It only affects pattern matching, and then only when one explicitly requests it (with (#i)). One can already get multiple-directory globbing by writing a glob pattern like (foo|bar)/baz. -zefram
