I'll bend it to my will as much as I can, however 90% of changes since I
started have been me getting used to zsh rather than the other way
around. Still, you don't know what you don't know and however naive, my
comment blocks do work. If there's a crash and burn coming up I'm sure
I'll burn.

There's an interesting idea! My editor doesn't but that would be quite
a feature.
