It seems that pat="<full-featured zsh pattern here>" and then using
GLOB_SUBST via $~pat with SH_GLOB temporarily turned off should solve this?
But what about (N[1]) etc. modifiers... I'm thinking about a far away
possibility that one could fully work with emulate sh, having completions
not reporting errors.
