Yes, thanks, Bart. My fault...

Blink. I had completely forgotten about `set -A'. Cute. Faster and
much more readable. Let's use it in other places, too.

(Oliver, I also changed your changes to use ${(@)argv[...]} instead of 
${argv[...][@]}, mostly for consistency with other places, but I think 
it should also be a tad faster. Haven't measured that, though.)

Bye
 Sven
