Isn't that what

emulate zsh [options] -c 'autoload -U packagebootstrapper'

is for?  Yeah, some syntactic sugar would be nice (e.g., it's a pain
to have to quote the argument of the -c option, rather than [say]
using a code block in braces).

Anyway, we haven't yet explored all the ramifications of changing null
elision.  What effect does it have on $(...) in an array context, for
example?  Any?
