Hi,
I just found out about a neat feature: When a completion function is
writeable by non-root, zsh will complain about the fact.
You get:
Ignore insecure files and continue [ny]?
I see two problems with this:
1) The user does not know it is zsh saying this, it could be anything,
really.
2) The user is not told _what_ files are considered insecure and why.
Adding a note on where & why the files were sourced/loaded would
be an optional extra.
Other than that, I love this feature. Once again zsh devs have handled
a situation I did not even really think about until I stumbled into it :)
Richard
