On a recent twitter feed, was posted the following snippet - Intended
for printing the name of the most recently modified file in a tree:
print ./**/*(om[1])
I used this as a way of printing the 3 most recently modified files in
a single directory:
print ./*{(om[1]),(om[2]),(om[3])}
But something troubles me, it looks ugly - surely there must exist a more
elegant zshism ?
