I don't see why. I use zsh and it has no problems with {arch}, +files or
=files. My programs (including my editor) are not too keen on the
+files, but that is easily overcome by typing ./ in front.

True, but this seems a rather artificial gripe. I'd be interested to
know: have you ever actually needed to use that syntax with junk files?
