One last question:
You did this:
chain0=( ${(s:; :)${(z)1}} )
... ignoring the semicolon stuff for now, since it's more a matter of
principal than practice for me:
chain0=( ${=1} )
... that would seem the more 'normal' thing, but you've obviously used
'(z)' pointedly. What's the difference here? The manual leaves me
feeling rather vague.
