WATCHFMT bug

WATCHFMT bug

[Andy Wick]

I sent a report about this a while ago and I don't think anyone
responded so I searched for an answer myself.

The problem is bolding and such doesn't work for WATCHFMT anymore.
It broke between beta8 and beta9.  There is a one line fix, but
it probably isn't the "right" fix.

zle_misc.c: line 683
change beta9+: tputs(tcstr[cap], 1, putshout); 
to     beta8-: tputs(tcstr[cap], 1, putraw);  

It would be great if someone could tell me the "real" solution.  Also
wonder why the watch stuff doesn't just use the same code as
print -P or PROMPT.  

Thanks.

Also new bug: ^ by itself crashes zsh.  Simple solution is a null check
in subst, but again thats probably not the "right" solution.

It may be that your whole purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others.

I'll have to test this, but it seems like this would break
other things.  There is typically a reason we send output to
shout rather than stdout.

Ok this is the third time I sent this.  Just want to make sure
it gets into either beta11 or hzoli11.

The bug was introduced between beta8 and beta9.  WATCHFMTs now ignore bold, 
underline etc...  

test9: zle_misc.c line 700
test9-hzoli11: zle_misc.c line 757

	       tputs(tcstr[cap], 1, putshout);
should be
	       tputs(tcstr[cap], 1, putraw);

Since it is ONLY ONE LINE, can you PRETTY PLEASE WITH SUGAR ON IT put
it into one of the version.  Thanks!!!
