No there isn't. I would have used that then. And, yes, I wished for
something like that, too.

I forgot to say: if they were special parameters we could easily make
one mirror the other (internally they would then really be the same
char**). It's just a (tiny) bit nasty to inherit the value of a normal
parameter into the special one when complist gets loaded.
But then, we could make complist be autoloaded on `ZLS_COL(|U)RS'. We
had this question when I posted complist, and I was against it, but at
that time I didn't think about making them special. Hm.

Is there a way to make something like `variables aliases', so that
[Z]LS_COLORS be two names for the same variable?
