They 'prevent' ... What would not be prevented if there were only four
colons? What
else would be prevented if there were six? ten? How do we know what is
being prevented?
I normally think of code giving instructions to 'do' something. Here
it's telling zsh *not*
to do something, but not what it is that it shouldn't do? I am only
mortal, this is for the Gods.
