In the comments in the zargs function file:
# * POSIX -L and -n are mutually exclusive and effectively synonymous;
# zargs accepts both and considers -n to be a limit on the total number
# of arguments per command line, that is, including the initial-args.
# Thus the following fails with "argument list too long":
# zargs -n 3 -- echo Here are four words
# The smallest limit implied by the combination of -L and -n is used.
