Subject: BUG: small posix glitch in ${x%*}
To: zsh-workers@zsh.org
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"

As I read the spec, the smallest suffix that can match * is the null string; so

    x=123; echo ${x%*}

should output "123". Zsh (as of 5.7.1) drops the last character.

(The behaviour for prefixes is correct.)
