    | suggestions, folks?  a globber that uses grep(1) expressions rather than  
    | shell globbing?  dwimming/spelling correction in the globber?  is this useful
    | enough that we should drop everything and add a globber hook now?


    The thing that I'd be most interested in is a general completion
    facility.  That pretty much has to be in the shell, unless you come up

this shouldn't be in a shell, which rc/es are. please keep things SIMPLE.
