 The classic difference is word splitting, discussed in question 3.1;
 this catches out very many beginning zsh users. As explained there,
 this is actually a bug in every other shell. The answer is to set
 SH_WORD_SPLIT for backward compatibility. The next most classic
 difference is that unmatched glob patterns cause the command to abort;
 set NO_NOMATCH for those.
