One difference in functionality between GNU awk and mawk is that mawk
does not like unescaped brackets as much as gawk does. As such, without this fix,
you get a message whenever you run z <dir> from mawk, complaining about the
unescaped bracket.
From my own testing, this works just fine across both mawk and GNU awk.
