I don't understand what you mean by that; $foo/${foo} in $newfiles won't
expand because multisubstitute is being used to expand both $foo and
$newfiles.

 Oh. Yes, of course. I was wrong about that, sorry.

 That's an interesting workaround indeed, but it still feels like a
workaround, and I'd rather not encourage the pattern. I prefer
Eduardo's suggested solution of encoding elglob's result - but then
again, it's still the same pattern where you expand the file list
with define -s in a multisubstitute. Maybe the pattern in unavoidable.

 I'll think about it more and do *something*. Thanks for the long
explanation.
