Message-ID: <20140731194138.GC28401@chaz.gmail.com> (raw)

I'd have expected:

zsh -c 'echo *([9999])'

to fail with a "No match" error if there were fewer than 9999
non-hidden files in the current directory (and at least 1).

At the moment, it expands to no argument at all.

No big deal, but might be worth clarifying in the documentation.
