I'm currently evaluating how I might implement a feature which disables 
pathname expansion on the first word of all commands. It seems like an obvious 
feature to enable by default because it would improve the safety of all 
scripts with breakage being extremely unlikely. Plus there's a theoretical 
performance benefit.

Also you'll be able to call methods on arrays of objects without needing to 
quote it because of the subscript syntax. Example:

typeset -T MyType_t=(...)
MyType_t -a obj=((x=1 y=2) (x=3 y=4))
obj[1].func arg1 # Normally needs quoting because of pointless globbing.
