# function zfrglob {
# Do the remote globbing for zfput, etc.
# We have two choices:
#  (1) Get the entire file list and match it one by one
#      locally against the pattern.
#      Causes problems if we are globbing directories (rare, presumably).
#      But: we can cache the current directory, which
#      we need for completion anyway.  Works on any OS if you
#      stick with a single directory.  This is the default.
#  (2) Use remote globbing, i.e. pass it to ls at the site.
#      Faster, but only works with UNIX, and only basic globbing.
#      We do this if the remote-glob style (or $zfrglob for
#      backward compatibility) is set.

# There is only one argument, the variable containing the
# pattern to be globbed.  We set this back to an array containing
# all the matches.
