_N_GNU_nonoption_argv_flags_

Hiya,

I've just come across this paragraph in the ENVIRONMENT
VARIABLES section of the GNU grep man page:

       _N_GNU_nonoption_argv_flags_
	      (Here N is grep's numeric process ID.)  If the ith
	      character of this environment variable's value is
	      1, do not consider the ith operand of grep to be
	      an option, even if it appears  to  be  one.  A
	      shell can put this variable in the environment for
	      each command it runs, specifying which operands
	      are the results of file name wildcard expansion
	      and therefore should not be treated as options.
	      This behavior is available only with the GNU C
	      library, and only when POSIXLY_CORRECT is not set.

It's news to me. Is there any plan for zsh to implement that?
