Right you are.

My strong preference would be that zargs be agnostic as to one's 
environment and functions called by it would behave exactly as 
otherwise.  Is the code for zargs a discrete thing?  If so I'm tempted 
to clone it to another name and see if I can make it transparent to 
existing environment.  I'd like to be able to link my functions together 
via piping+zargs.  Mind, I'm imagining that would be a simplification 
but perhaps exactly the opposite.  Besides, piping is so mysterious, 
there's an invisible river of data and it would be interesting to see 
how one gets one's grubby hands on it. Thanks Lawrence I spent hours 
wondering what could possibly be going wrong there.
