} Yet another annoyance: in the old hack, you got away with having a
} pattern beginning with "(" (and containing balanced parentheses)
} followed by an unbalanced ")".  Now you don't.

Hrm.  Zsh patterns include "(this|that)", and "case" syntax includes
"pattern)" without an open paren, so ...?

The "old hack" is one of those "well, it really should have been done
differently in the first place, but it wasn't, so now what?" issues
that bug me because *somebody* is going to get bitten in the way _vim
just was.
