Zsh-script-mode for emacs?

Zsh-script-mode for emacs?

[Juhapekka Tolvanen]

Does someone know any good elisp-file that would implement major mode for
editing of zsh-scripts with emacs? Even vi-clone called Vim has own mode for
Zsh, but emacs does not have it, yet.

Or how about creating one? Maybe it could be based on ksh-mode, that comes
with XEmacs. Here is its first lines:

If you investigate shell-script-mode in recent versions of GNU emacs, you'll
find that it does in fact classify zsh as a derivative of ksh88 and attempt
to handle it that way (e.g. it'll recognize #!/bin/zsh and automatically
start shell-script-mode, etc.)  It's got most of the list of keywords right,
knows how to insert loop skeletons, etc.

I have no idea whether XEmacs has this yet.

Yes in fact XEmacs does automaticly start shell-script-mode when
loading a zsh script with '#!/bin/zsh'.
