No, it might not. It's bashism (zsh has special option to let filename
generation fail, and it's unset by default; while bash)

% bash
bash-5.1$ echo abc*
abc*

It's risky indeed, but it's hard to imagine files with
'xserver-xorg-video-.' prefix just laying around (these days).

p.s. Ok then. Done with get-off-my-lawn mode this time.
