What is the proper response of kpsewhich for the following invocation:
kpsewhich -expand-braces=file{1,2,3,4}{.tex,.pdf}
I would have thought it would be a single string containing
file1.tex:file2.tex:file3.tex:file4.tex:file1.pdf:file2.pdf:file3.pdf:file4.pdf
or similar, but I'm getting just a simple
file4.pdf
as the answer, which is the final element of what I expected.
kpsewhich -all -expand-braces=file{1,2,3,4}{.tex,.pdf}
doesn't change anything, which I think makes sense, since the -all option doesn't apply to expansion tests.
I'm using the 2014 version of kpsewhich on an older Mac OS system. Is this a bug that was fixed later?
If not a bug, then I guess there's something I don't understand about brace expansion or kpsewhich or both.
TIA,
Doug McKenna
