I actually had an anonymous function followed by 'done' in my .zshrc,
but when I tested the new zsh version there was no error since the
file was compiled. When I edited my .zshrc a week later though, zsh
reported errors on startup, which took me a couple of minutes to
figure out :). Is there a good reason to not stick on the
$ZSH_PATCHLEVEL on the version stored in .zwc files, assuming it's
stored as a string?
