NULL_GLOB. It actually beats any related option. Just as well too, as this is relied upon in a number of places where NULL_GLOB is temporarily set. > What the heck happened to NO_NOMATCH when the change >was made to make the prefix "no" into a magic equivalent of "unsetopt"? >`setopt nonomatch' should be the same as `unsetopt nomatch', but what >about `setopt nomatch'?? Why isn't it `unsetopt match'? Gaahhh. Or >did I completely misunderstand what that was all about? That patch isn't in the baseline yet. It made the canonical form of that option NOMATCH, so that "setopt NOMATCH", "unsetopt NOMATCH", "setopt NO_NOMATCH" and "unsetopt NO_NOMATCH" are valid. MATCH was not made a legal option. I actually added quite a bit of text explaining this to the zshoptions man page in the patch. -zefram
