Most would consider idiom as as part of peshat. So, the Rambam's
discussion of literal vs idiomatic wouldn't require use of the word
"peshat".

I think this observation is equivalent to noting that nowhere in the Moreh
does the Rambam discuss the interplay between peshat and medrash. He cites
medrashim to prove points, but never head-on to explain a pasuq. (Or a
din, but how many dinim does the Moreh discuss either?)

:-)BBii!
