The point is that, unlike the ~ case which is just a flag passed in to
the pattern match parser, it would longer done by pattern matching at
all.  It would be done in the glob code.  The pattern match code would
see the foo, bar, baz, bong, and it would it be reassembled higher up.
So it's not so much incompatible as something utterly different.
