Axel,

     But zsh's zargs seems to support functions (but not aliases). Try 
this: % autoload -U zargs % zargs -- * -- l ,s

Not too shabby! This worked:

     $zargs -- `ls -1` -- l ,s

'piped' output of  'ls -1' to my function 'l'.
But this is what I've done previously:


      $l ,s `ls -1`

... which is more compact.  Is there any reason to prefer zargs? Perhaps 
it can swallow
more complex input?
