Doesn't sound like the start of a controversy. I've committed the changes, with a few tweaks to the description in the zmodload section (mostly pointing out you can have aliases/with/paths and the paths don't have to exist). I've also removed the old aliases; there didn't seem any point in posting this. For this to take effect, you will need to remove the Aliases subdirectory of Src locally (since the .mdd files there aren't under CVS control) and delete modules.index so that it is rebuilt --- remember, too, to edit mymods.conf if that had any of the old aliases in it. `cvs update -Pd' is recommended for pruning old directories such as Src/Aliases, since CVS isn't all that good at managing different versions of directory hierarchies. As discussed, I have not added any aliases for the new system. If you want these, you can add lines like zmodload -A zle=zsh/zle compctl=zsh/compctl ... to a startup file of your choice. I am still quite prepared to discuss having them builtin (but still under user control) if anyone thinks there is enough need, but I suspect we can dispense with them for 4.0.

(Which leaves me wondering when it is implicitly output, but I don't think it ever is, whatever that means.) -- Peter Stephenson Cambridge Silicon Radio, Unit 300, Science Park, Milton Road, Cambridge, CB4 0XL, UK Tel: +44 (0)1223 392070
