} Not very nice either: *(/e:REPLY=-I\$REPLY)

} Whoa! Dirty tricks ;-)

zagzig[86] echo *(/e:REPLY=-I\$REPLY)
zsh: missing end of string
zagzig[87] echo *(/e:REPLY=-I\$REPLY:)
-ICVS -ICompletion -IConfig -IDoc -IEtc -IFunctions -IMisc -ISrc -IStartupFiles
-ITest -IUtil

zagzig[91] echo Completion/*(/e:REPLY=-I\$REPLY:)
zagzig[91] echo -I$REPLY -I$REPLY -I$REPLY -I$REPLY -I$REPLY -I$REPLY -I$REPLY
-I$REPLY -I$REPLY -I$REPLY -I$REPLY
Completing all expansions
-I$REPLY -I$REPLY -I$REPLY -I$REPLY -I$REPLY -I$REPLY -I$REPLY -I$REPLY
-I$REPLY -I$REPLY -I$REPLY
Completing expansions
-I$REPLY 
Completing original
Completion/*(/e:REPLY=-I\$REPLY:)
