See zsh_users/1569:

   My intention is that eventually we will have some other, unambiguous,
   glob qualifier syntax, which will be available regardless of
   BARE_GLOB_QUAL.  (We need the capability to disable the current
   qualifier syntax in order to fully emulate ksh glob syntax.)

So "bare" means that they're just sitting there on the end of the pattern,
with no special disambiguating syntax to introduce them.
