I would have thought so, but as our tab completion gets bigger--and
it's been steadily doing that--we may find ourselves in a situation
where it'd be handy to debug things in a production environment, with
all the restrictions that implies.
Can we conceive of a circumstance where the check for -L/\L would be
significant? I've seen people type pretty quickly, but not thus far
fast enough to notice a cache miss.
Best,
David.
