For example, :+if Config/version.mk contains "VERSION=4.3.4-dev-7" and :+ZSH_EXTRAVERSION is set to "-ca", $ZSH_VERSION in the shell built from :+that run will equal "4.3.4-dev-7-ca". Caution is recommended when :+using this feature, as is-at-least may misunderstand your conventions. Wouldn't it be nicer to call this ZSH_VERSIONSUFFIX? IMO, it's a name which is clearer about its function. Regards, Geoff
