The rounding seems a bit odd here:
## some files less than, equal to, and greater than 1024 bytes
$ ls -l {lt,eq,gt}-1k
-rw------- 1 bhaskell users 1023 2010-07-23 16:08 lt-1k
-rw------- 1 bhaskell users 1024 2010-07-23 16:08 eq-1k
-rw------- 1 bhaskell users 1025 2010-07-23 16:08 gt-1k
## why does lt-1k match here:
$ print -l *-1k(L-1024)
lt-1k
## and here:
$ print -l *-1k(Lk1)
eq-1k
lt-1k
## but not here?
$ print -l *-1k(Lk-1)
zsh: no matches found: *-1k(Lk-1)
Not claiming it's a 'bug', per se, but what's the rationale for rounding
up? Seems similar to the 'a' glob qualifier caveat with 'whole units',
but I didn't see an explanation similar to fractional-part-is-discarded
for 'L'. Did I overlook it?
(Discovered while trying to grep for something in files <1K -- which
only matched files of size 0. There's probably a case where this
behavior is preferable.)
