I think there may be a compile-time option in the latest versions of
"ksh" to enable them - I presume you mean "more {foo,bar}.c" and the
like - although this may introduce an incompatible shell syntax change,
so vendors may not turn it on by default.  (I'd vote for making it
settable at run-time.)
