That nymph between weapon and tool is 'glob qualifier' (acts at
'filename generation' phase).  But!  It's zsh.

Yeah, I was positive that Zsh supports such a qualifier.

That being said, as a
result of cross-pollination, something similar might be in ksh too.  I
can't say where to dig through ksh-documentation.

Well, I don't know of any in Ksh. (That's my problem.)
