+	* pws: 11196: Functions/Misc/zmv: allow (**/) to map to a
+	parameter in the obvious way; allow automatic recognition of
+	wildcards with -w flag; turn off glob qualifiers by default, use
+	-Q to turn on; fix bug with empty match eliding a positional
+	parameter; fix bug that empty `to' pattern wasn't picked up.

 	* pws: unposted: fixes for Etc/CONTRIBUTORS based on suggestions
 	in 11187 and 11197

+# This is a multiple move based on zsh pattern matching.  To get the full
+# power of it, you need a postgraduate degree in zsh.  However, simple
+# tasks work OK, so if that's all you need, here are some basic examples:
+#   zmv '(*).txt' '$1.lis'
+# Rename foo.txt to foo.lis, etc.  The parenthesis is the thing that
+# gets replaced by the $1 (not the `*', as happens in mmv, and note the
+# `$', not `=', so that you need to quote both words).
+#   zmv '(**/)(*).txt '$1$2.lis'
+# The same, but scanning through subdirectories.  The $1 becomes the full
+# path.  Note that you need to write it like this; you can't get away with
+# '(**/*).txt'.
+#   zmv -w '**/*.txt' '$1$2.lis'
+# This is the lazy version of the one above; zsh picks out the patterns
+# for you.  The catch here is that you don't need the / in the replacement
+# pattern.  (It's not really a catch, since $1 can be empty.)
+#   zmv -C '**/(*).txt' ~/save/'$1'.lis
+# Copy, instead of move, all .txt files in subdirectories to .lis files
+# in the single directory `~/save'.  Note that the ~ was not quoted.
+# You can test things safely by using the `-n' (no, not now) option.
+# Clashes, where multiple files are renamed or copied to the same one, are
+# picked up.

+# As usual in zsh, /'s don't work inside parentheses.  There is a special
+# case for (**/) and (***/):  these have the expected effect that the
+# entire relevant path will be substituted by the appropriate positional
+# parameter.
+#
+# There is a shortcut avoiding the use of parenthesis with the option -w
+# (with wildcards), which picks out any expressions `*', `?', `<range>'
+# (<->, <1-10>, etc.), `[...]', possibly followed by `#'s, `**/', `***/', and
+# automatically parenthesises them. (You should quote any ['s or ]'s which
+# appear inside [...] and which do not come from ranges of the form
+# `[:alpha:]'.)  So for example, in
+#    zmv -w '[[:upper:]]*' '${(L)1}$2'
+# the $1 refers to the expression `[[:upper:]]' and the $2 refers to
+# `*'. Thus this finds any file with an upper case first character and
+# renames it to one with a lowercase first character.  Note that any
+# existing parentheses are active, too, so you must count accordingly.
+# Furthermore, an expression like '(?)' will be rewritten as '((?))' --- in
+# other words, parenthesising of wildcards is independent of any existing
+# parentheses.
