Hi,

while looking up something in zshall(1) I noticed that the option
NOMATCH is inconsistently written in two ways:

~ → man zshall | egrep -ni 'no_?match'
196:       INTERACTIVE_COMMENTS,   KSH_ARRAYS,   NO_MULTIOS,   NO_NOMATCH,   NO_NOTIFY,    POSIX_BUILTINS,
832:       •      File generation failures where not caused by NO_MATCH or similar options
3719:       and the option NOMATCH is set, an error results.
3823:       which case the word is deleted; or unless the NOMATCH option is unset, in which case  the  word
6059:              Overrides NOMATCH.
6166:       NOMATCH (+3) <C> <Z>
6173:              ment list instead of reporting an error.  Overrides NOMATCH.
7177:       -3     NO_NOMATCH

Please note that every occurrence but one uses NOMATCH (and its
negation) NO_NOMATCH, but (line 832) uses NO_MATCH.

Should we correct that for the ease of searching inside zshall? (Which
is actually how I noticed it because I searched for NO_MATCH first.)

Would do unless there's some opposition.

		Kind regards, Axel
