It's logical for dash because this aligns the behaviour of pathname
expansion with case pattern matching.
Except it doesn't actually do that. It does in some cases, and not in
others. You've made it clear that you don't care about the cases where
it doesn't. That can be a valid decision, but it's one you should
acknowledge.
Also, it's just as logical to restore the case pattern matching to its
traditional behaviour to align it with pathname expansion.
