Marc Cornellà f701b4de0f Fix formatting and usage section
Also:

- Changes `globes` (which doesn't exist) to `glob expressions`.

- Delete the `trigger autocompletion to your current aliases` use case, since that's not
  really implemented.

# Globalias plugin
Expands all glob expressions, subcommands and aliases (including global).
Idea from: http://blog.patshead.com/2012/11/automatically-expaning-zsh-global-aliases---simplified.html.
## Usage
Add `globalias` to the plugins array in your zshrc file:
```zsh
plugins=(... globalias)
```
Then just press `SPACE` to trigger the expansion of a command you've written.
If you only want to insert a space without expanding the command line, press
`CTRL`+`SPACE`.
## Examples
#### Glob expressions
```
$ touch {1..10}<space>
# expands to
$ touch 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
$ ls **/*.json<space>
# expands to
$ ls folder/file.json anotherfolder/another.json
```
#### Subcommands
```
$ mkdir "`date -R`"
# expands to
$ mkdir Tue,\ 04\ Oct\ 2016\ 13:54:03\ +0300
```
#### Aliases
```
# .zshrc:
alias -g G="| grep --color=auto -P"
alias l='ls --color=auto -lah'
$ l<space>G<space>
# expands to
$ ls --color=auto -lah | grep --color=auto -P
```
```
# .zsrc:
alias S="sudo systemctl"
$ S<space>
# expands to:
$ sudo systemctl
```
