} There are two caveats. First, it's a bit incompatible with the old
} behaviour. For example, with '%10>...>%~%# ', only the %~ would have
} been truncated, while now the '% ' or '# ' will be included and you
} have to say explicitly '%10>...>%~%>>%# '. This change could be
} enough for us to receive death threats.
The documentation improvements are good in any event. We could take a
poll on zsh-users to see how many people are actually using truncation.
} Second, the truncation string
} itself is still not expanded, since I don't think that's what it's
} for.
That's OK.
