Merged.

Oliver had already added support for this to his viexchange plugin.
I expect the comparable z-sy-h patch to be merged to z-sy-h master
soon.

I'd like z-sy-h to dogfood the new feature, but I'm also concerned
about compatibility, as zsh hasn't released the feature yet.  I don't
see a problem with turning the functionality on by default in z-sy-h's
master branch, but I'm not so sure what to do in z-sy-h releases.

Would it be okay for the next z-sy-h release to use the memo= feature
by default, if available?  Or should z-sy-h not use the memo= feature
by default until zsh releases it?

(The next z-sy-h release might be sooner than the next zsh release.)

Cheers,

Daniel
