You mean, whose who like the {files} names do not use zsh or tcsh.

As for +files and =files, the users of all shells unnecessarily suffer.

Unfortunately, at this point we should live with the Tom's whims forever.
At least, I hope, no new file name annoyances are added to arch.

Using ,files to indicate temporary files causes less real-life conflicts.
It does conflict with {file1,file2} syntax of all shells though.
