Since they work for me and I don't have to deal with the complaints, I'd really prefer that they stay in. Maybe a configure argument could be used to disable it on a case-by-case basis if there are problems? I'm taking over "maintenance" of zsh in Solaris, and although we're not expecting to maintain the same level of backwards compatibility in our open-source applications as in Solaris apps, it'd be nice not to lose a feature like this, especially as zsh has been pretty good at keeping itself backwards compatible over time. Thanks, Danek
