It's true. It always annoyed me that a no match would brake the whole thing.
But I just tried setopt cshnullglob to no avail.
It's still complaining about a no match, even if there are other matches:
dado@saci:~/pdi/timesheet 16 -> setopt | grep null
cshnullglob
dado@saci:~/pdi/timesheet 17 -> ll 99090{0,1,2,3}
UX:ls: ERROR: Cannot access 990900: No such file or directory
UX:ls: ERROR: Cannot access 990903: No such file or directory

I also would like to have the same behavior on 99090{0..3}
Is that possible?
Any idea?
Thanks.
