The typo fix appeared in one of my doc patches ... zsh-workers/4118 is the article ... along with some other clarifications of the surrounding text. The semantic flaw is arguable, but in patches of this type please spell out phrases like "if and only if" rather than using abbreviations with which some readers of zsh documentation may be unfamiliar.
