Anyway, horse dead, flogging ends here. T
One more lash to the dead horse: It's another example of something being
'too helpful'. But it's all water under the bridge now. As Bart says,
too dangerous to tinker in the deepest entrails of the code. Still I do
dream of zsh 6.0 where old traditions might be questioned, dead code cut
out, compatibility with extinct shells no longer worried about, and so on.
