Wouldn't it be polite for the docs to at least } mention that? The documentation has long been a sore spot, because it was originally written to only cover things that were different about zsh (from other shells) because it was expected to be the second shell adopted by an experienced user. There are a huge number of nooks and crannies to fill to make it comprehensively about everything zsh in a vacuum, and no dedicated documentation project/author. } Perhaps it's presumptuous of me to discuss this, but could a } time not come when zsh is no longer chained to past practice? When } decisions are based on merit, not on what ksh '79 did? Assuming I agree (which I don't) with your implication that decisions are not already based on merit: so far you haven't convinced me that this would result in anything other than a lot of arguments about "merit."
