Nice!  I encountered one issue if the path uses a symlink as a directory
component:  either the full symlink name is always included (if the
symlink is the only matching item with the starting letter), or not
enough path is output (if some other directory starts with the same
letter as the symlink).  The solution is to turn on symlink-following
for the glob:

- 			expn=($(echo ${part}*(/)))
+ 			expn=($(echo ${part}*(-/)))
