Unicode normalization on macOS has always been a pain in the ass.
I can see that!
This is the basic assumption that drives all the decisions: character input
you get from the terminal is in NFC, and files from the file system (names
and usually contents) are in NFD.
I guess the point of this patch was that this assumption does not
always hold -- neither file system names nor terminal input have any
guaranteed normalization.
I should have said keyboard input; pasted text can be NFD, as you show.
So I'll go ahead with your patch, starting with the globbing changes. We're
already not conformant with POSIX here, so what's a little bit more?
Apple certainly didn't do anyone any favors with this.
