} (This is actually not shortloops syntax.)

Well, OK: "alternative" loop syntax, if you want to be that persnickety.

(This is zsh-workers, though, so I doubt anyone is going to be confused.)

Hm, using braces instead of "end" isn't even documented for "foreach", so
I guess that's neither alternative nor shortloops.
