Looks a reasonable idea. One worry is it might be a lot of work to do this
widely enough to be really usful.  But with the test it's no worse than
harmless.  You might want to note it's incompatible with using
zsh-user-install menus and that the file needs editing by hand, even
though that's kind of hinted at by the context.

Someone also pointed out that zshrc.recommended sorts "better" than
recommended.zshrc.

In the interests of immediately undermining that, I aim to avoid
confusing anyone by implying that this file should be a
recommended global zshrc.
