Delay processing "disown" for superjob.

 where the function was never suspended.  Zsh is different from many
 other shells in this regard.
 
+One additional side effect is that use of tt(disown) with a job

 The same behaviour is found when the shell is executing code as the
 right hand side of a pipeline or any complex shell construct such as
 tt(if), tt(for), etc., in order that the entire block of code
