	according to the docs, globassign is deprecated, because
globbing is done implicitly so long as the parameter is explicitly
set to an array.  so it should end up something like the following:

x=(pkgs/*(@)) ; ls -d ${^x}/man(/)

	-- sweth, who is now wondering if he could combine this
with the earlier discussion about nested expansion to make a single
inscrutable argument to ls -d to achieve this via (P).
