Indeed.. otherwise problems that the --reload-and-run function fixed
will appear. Or maybe not? Before, we were trying assignment to
functions or eval. Here it's plain script body. Wonder how I could
test for any problems quickly, will probably leave the issue for a
while

Looking at define's -f output I have:

_a2ps () {
        # undefined
        builtin autoload -XUz
}
_a2utils () {
        # undefined
        builtin autoload -XUz
}
_aap () {
        # undefined
        builtin autoload -XUz
}

...

So it looks like I can have the options by parsing functions body?

Slightly acceptable limitation, user will be told "don't change
emulate modes". Anyone doing emulate sh will break his session anyway
because of for example SHGLOB. That said, the snapshot could cover
emulate modes and restore them too..
