Sorry to butt in but doesn't this sound a bit rude to anyone ?

As in

echo {0..12}

Does what is expected

echo {a..z}

Does nothing as expected

setopt braceccl
echo {a-z}

does something somebody expected ?

Shouldn't there be some kind of uniformity or is this for a reason ?
The other two shells work as expected.

Thanks in advance,

Jerry
