Re-reading the doc for this, {a..z} is guaranteed to produce PRINTABLE
output, which is not true of the other variations of brace expansion.

Ambivalent.  If you're going to set an option anyway, why can't you
use BRACE_CCL and {a-z} ?

That, I think not.  You've already demonstrated that it's simple to
add the quoting ... and in what circumstance would you want the brace
expansion quoted, but the word in which it's embedded, unquoted?
