PATCH: _expand limitation

[Oliver Kiddle <opk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just did vi *(w)<tab> and expected it to expand to the one writable
file in the directory. It didn't work though. The trouble is that
_expand tries to expand things by doing ${~exp}(N). This means that it
is in effect trying to expand *(w)(N) which isn't the same as *(wN). The
easiest solution I can think of is if _expand does setopt localoptions
nullglob though someone else may have a better idea. The patch adds
this.
