1. The manual says that array elements are numbered beginning with 1
unless the KSH_ARRAYS option is set. But actually array[0] works fine
and seems to be a synonym for array[1]. Bug or feature? This has the
great disadvantage that you cannot rely on "$array[i,j]" always being
empty if j < i.
2. There is an inconsistency in the behavior of the expression
${a:h}
which is said to give the "head" of $a. If a=x/y/z, the result is x/y;
but if a=x, the result is x. My understanding of "head" is that the
result in the latter case should be empty. Again: Bug or feature?
Regards,
Bernd

You only need to confirm once. It just happens to be separately for
each list.

compdef -d -- -equal-
If you have magicequalsubst set it will still try to perform default
completion after an `='.

Aha, thanks. That is reasonable enough.

Great, thanks!

Sorry for responding before actually testing, but after testing it
proves to be insufficient. It simply ignores the = on the command line
now, restarting all completion instead of taking the = into account.
Say I have a directory with the file
=README
in it (yes this is an Arch managed source tree) that I want to read with
vim. I thus type
% vim =<tab>
which simply lists
\=README
under 'files'.
Is there any way to solve this? I mean, I'm glad my =<tab> doesn't
expand to thousands of commands, but it's still not that great.

This seems to be a fully paid up bug... I think it's simply that
this chunk in _main_complete isn't testing for the option before
trying to make `=' special. (Leading `=' should now work regardless
of magicequalsubst --- it seems that's already smart enough to match
a non-leading `='.)

Aw nice. This was what I tried doing, but I did
if compset -P 1 '=' && [[ -o equals ]]; then
instead (and I hadn't done the compdef from the previous mail either).
Works like a charm, thanks!
