It may be a small part of the shell, but affects all users of both zsh
and svn, IMHO not a small part of the zsh user base (by "small", I mean
not small enough to ignore the bug). And this bug is very annoying in
practice.

The main problem with that is that it is easy to forget such files,
thus the one that will be taken into account may never be updated,
and this is really bad.
It would have been great if such files were versioned, so that it
would be possible to tell zsh to take the most recent one.
