} the (:quals) syntax no longer works.
Does this also mean that either/both of the following are broken?
echo ${pref}**/CVS(:h) | sed 's/CVS//'
case $(tty)(:t) in
I'd be somewhat discomfited by that. What was the rationale for changing
that behavior, again?
} The other change related to ~ with EXTENDED_GLOB. Before ~ was only
} treated as exclusion character if it was not at the end of the word and
} the word contained other glob characters. This allowed you to write
}
} ls *~
} rm foo~
} dd if=~/foo of=bar
}
} etc. None of these work anymore.
That loss is quite unpleasant. I add my vote for fixing or backing out
that particular change.
