I don't have time right now to provide more tests or otherwise
elaborate, but I am pretty sure that no shell exhibits the behavior
you want, and I am *very* sure that said behavior would violate
POSIX in one way or another. I know that zsh does not aim for POSIX
compliance, but that doesn't mean it ought to take a feature which
is currently highly compatible with other shells and change it to
be completely incompatible.
I strongly object to any of these proposed changes, except ones
that bring zsh into closer alignment with other shells. (These are
arguably bugfixes.)
