While we're on that subject, when did integer-typed variables start to prefix their values with their base? E.g. I had some old, working shell functions that assumed that: zsh% typedef -i 16 x zsh% x=255 zsh% echo $x FF But I happened to run one of those functions in 3.0.3-test4 and got `16#FF' instead of `FF'. Everything else was downhill from there. Is there some way to prevent this behavior?
