Indeed not.  Zsh is 'bigger' and more powerful in every way, but also 
less consistent.
To some degree this is inevitable and quite forgivable.  Projects that 
grow by accretion
must encounter this sort of thing and solutions are far from simple.

I am with Bart on this one. Many so-called "defaults" in all sorts of

Sure, so my notion of several different default configurations gives you 
several possible starting
points, and then invites you and helps you to start customizing. The 
difference is that
instead of starting from 'zero',  you're starting from one of a suite of 
configurations that
are considered reasonable by real users.  And of course the 'zero 
option' would be there
as well so all of the above can be ignored as desired.
