Filename Generation - *(.)

[Atom Smasher <atom@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

these do what i'd expect:
 ls ./*(.)    # list all regular files in the current dir
 ls *(.)      # list all regular files in the current dir
 grep foo ./*(.)    # grep 'foo' from regular files in the current dir

this doesn't:
 grep foo *(.)

can anyone explain that?

zsh 4.3.4 (amd64-portbld-freebsd6.2)
