So to sum up, it sounds like your advice is "Always use a script instead 
of a function. If the script can't work for whatever reason, then use a 
function."

I will do this.

To keep things organized, I think I set up a subdirectory called 
~/bin/shell_alias_scripts, add it to $PATH and toss all the scripts that 
are used by aliases in there. And so long as I only call these scripts 
with an alias, there shouldn't be any performance penalty because they 
won't all have to be sourced by zsh.

Thanks!
