This is basically a dead issue now, but trying it is exactly what I did:


% alias X='echo howdy'; Y() { X }
zsh: defining function based on alias `Y'
zsh: parse error near `()'

... but maybe that's not exactly the same thing.  I just noticed the 
same messages.

BTW, interesting that his problem was solved by adding 'function' -- I 
though that was always optional, but in this case the parser seems to care.
