} Note that zmv accounts for that (and also adds the missing
} "--") (and turns on extendedglob).

} zmv '*' '${f//[-_[:space:]]##/-}'

Two additional points:

(1) The $f in Jun's warning has nothing to do with the the $f in 
    Stephane's example except that they coincidentally both were
    used as a variable holding a file name.

(2) That use of $f in zmv is explained in the comments in the zmv
    source file, but isn't mentioned in the man pages / info docs.
