I have found a thing that works in zsh-2.6beta13, but does not work in
3.0.0 (doubtless due to exec changes):
$ alias a='echo something'
$ exec a
In 2.6b13 it would echo something and exit. In 3.0.0 (and presumingly
in later betas) it just says "a: command not found".

That's because exec is a builtin now. Use alias exec='exec ' to get back
the old behaviour.
