That is all a longwinded way to say "zsh doesn't support the same interface as bash for setting the nullglob option, so let's avoid it and use 'ls' which is simpler", right?

There's a potential speed regression involved --- using "ls" involves an extra fork/exec. I believe you have thought about this and done a little to mitigate it; could you explain this in the commit message so future coders know what features of your code need to be preserved?

Please consider squashing this with patch 2/4. It will make both patches way easier to understand on their own.

Cc-ing Gábor, who I imagine is more familiar with this code than I am.
