I asked about that as well once and sysparams was the only suggestion i got.

I'm pretty sure that was me. And no, you can't assume that users will have
zsh/system. Which modules are available to zsh is up to the packager, but these
are the ones that are linked by default with --disable-dynamic:

zsh/compctl
zsh/complete
zsh/complist
zsh/computil
zsh/datetime
zsh/main
zsh/parameter
zsh/rlimits
zsh/sched
zsh/termcap
zsh/zle
zsh/zleparameter
zsh/zutil

So i think those are essentially the 'core' modules. You can probably include
zsh/langinfo and zsh/terminfo in most cases too. Those are the ones i had on the
system that inspired that PR, anyway.
