[...]
All of bash, zsh, yash, dash, BSDs (except those like OpenBSD, MirBSD that
use pdksh) allow [^...]. Most fnmatch() implementations do (including on
OpenBSD making it a discrepancy between sh and fnmatch()/find...).
Desired Action:
Require [^...] to negate the bracket expression in addition to [!...] in
issue8, or at least make it a "future direction" that it *will* be required
in a future version, so as to at last remove that unnecessary discrepancy
between regexp and shell pattern syntax.
This is highly misleading. Yes, all of those allow [^...] but not all of
them treat the ^ in it as negation. Whether they treat it as negation is
what's relevant, not whether they allow it.
