`set` is a builtin (not a reserved word), so you use it like a normal
command. Your first email in this thread used it correctly. You can
also refer to `man zshbuiltins` for documentation.

Unlike bash, zsh cannot send xtrace output anywhere but to stderr. If
you redirect stderr, xtrace output will be redirected too.
