    Well, that was my doubt ;))

    Good solution! Just one more question: if the user runs, as in
the example, 'PATH=whatever gdb program', this is because the user
wants JUST that path, no more, no less. Shouldn't be a better
approach something like:

    [[ -z "$path" ]] && path=(mypath $path)
    typeset -U path
