} Note that there are two "oddities" here:  First, +f always wins over -f

This turns out not to be true; I was misled by some setopts in /etc/zshenv,
which I've since deleted.  It should read:

[1]   DEFAULT--rc-enabled shell                 => RCS
        unless
    ( `-f' flag present on shell invocation     => NO_RCS
        or
      `+f' flag present on shell invocation     => RCS )
        unless

        or
      `setopt RCS' called in /etc/zshenv        => RCS )
