Being able to create new special variables would be sufficient for
this specific case. I was playing around with a variety of installed
Tcl libraries, and it was handy to change my LD_LIBRARY_PATH quite a
lot interactively. There wouldn't be any problem with having an
ld_library_path which is an array (in exactly the same way that
path/PATH and things are set).
Indeed, arrays have some nice syntax in zsh, which might be
convenient. Or are you suggesting using the same syntax for
colon-arrays?
