Nuts, it's easy. Mark showed me:
alias test='noglob _test'
function _test ()
{
ls -l -- $~@
}
ls -l -- $@
echo
run:
5 /aWorking/Zsh/Source/Wk 3 % . test junk\ * && test junk\ *
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 1 10:34 'junk a'
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 1 10:35 'junk b'
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 31 18:55 'junk junk'
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 1 10:34 'junk a'
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 1 10:35 'junk b'
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 31 18:55 'junk junk'
... I wonder how much sinful 'eval'ing I'm doing when '$~@' seems to
expand the globs just fine. You don't know what you don't know.
