Well zsh-5.5 behaves quite differently with or without '-f':

# . test1; test1
test1:6: defining function based on alias `msg'
test1:16: parse error near `()'
zsh: permission denied: test1

... so it seems that I'm not going to get away with my previous 
anymore.   Is there a new strategy that might work?  Nullify the 
function and/or the alias?  Really, just some way of stopping messages 
from printing at all?
