That's not just hateful, that's utterly evil. Not that I really needed
another reason to hate zsh, of course.

I've got a couple of co-workers who use zsh, and script in it. I
don't have zsh on all boxes. I can now almost guarantee that one
day when I'm converting one of their zsh scripts to a real shell,
I'm going to miss that they depended on this "feature" when generating
a list of filenames to delete.

There's stuff above here
