Hi. I am considering making bash glob expansion implement rational range
interpretation starting with bash-5.0 -- basically making globasciiranges
the default. It looks like glibc is going to do this for version 2.28 (at
least for a-z, A-Z, and 0-9), and other GNU utilities have done it for some
time. What do folks think?
I tried to think about a counterpoint, some case for where the current
(non-globasciiranges) behaviour would be useful, but I can't come up
with any. At least the part where [a-z] matches A, but not Z makes it a
bit useless.
If you're considering special-casing just those three, I'd suggest
adding a-f and A-F too, for patterns matching hex digits.
So yeah, +1 from me.
