[zsh 4.0.2 bug] named directory ~out disappears

[zsh 4.0.2 bug] named directory ~out disappears

[Vincent Lefevre]

This bug is still present in zsh 4.0.2: After completing pids, the named
directory ~out disappears. Shouldn't it be mentionned in Etc/BUGS?

Argh.  I had forgotten about this.  We had a *very* short `discussion'
about it on the workers list (messages 13891 and 13901) with Bart and me
making suggestions and then (seemingly) deciding that we don't know the
best way to handle this.

Hm.


Bye

I have one more suggestion:  Create a linked list of nameddir entries
to restore, the same way we have a linked list of parameters to restore.
Then `local' can be extended to look up any nameddir with the same name
as the parameter being localized, and put that on the nameddir-restore
list.  Restore those saved nameddirs in endparamscope().
