? in filename matching

["Timothy J. Luoma" <luomat@xxxxxxxx>]

I just made a bunch of changes to my setopts and one of them seems to have
a side effect I didn't realize or understand.

If I have a bunch of files

file.1234
file.abdf
file.MEME

and I want to match them all, I thought I did 'ls file.????' (to get
just the files named 'file.' with 4 characters after the .)

now I get 'file.???? not found'

I know this is going to be super easy and you'll wonder why I couldn't
figure it out, but there it is....
