Well said.  I can't remember it exactly but I recall complaining about 
one message that was not only terse it was positively misleading. I 
vaguely recall it being something to the effect that zsh couldn't find 
something, whereas in fact she could find it alright but just didn't 
like it.  Nope, compatibility with inferior traditions is not a virtue.  
The other shells are either extinct or moribund.  Zsh owns the field and 
she should start making the rules, not following them.  Who cares if 
something is compatible with rc shell anymore?  They say that csh was a 
monstrosity from the getgo and is best forgotten, not conformed with.  
Let's have better messages -- or ID's so that you can look up the long 
version.
