Hi!

A little confused about meaning of GLOB_SUBST option.

Manual states that if GLOB_SUBST is set, "any pattern character resulting
from the substitution become eligible for file expansion and filename
generation". But the same manual also says, that zsh always does globbing,
that is, param. subst. first and the globbing.

So, what difference does it make if I set GLIB_SUBST?

thanks in advance
