I would have thought so, but as our tab completion gets bigger--and it's been steadily doing that--we may find ourselves in a situation where it'd be handy to debug things in a production environment, with all the restrictions that implies. Can we conceive of a circumstance where the check for -L/\L would be significant? I've seen people type pretty quickly, but not thus far fast enough to notice a cache miss.
