-In a shell without dynamic loading only the tt(-e) option is
-supported and the tt(-i) option is ignored. In such a shell the return
-status of tt(zmodload) without arguments or options is one whereas in
-a shell with dynamic loading the return status without arguments or
-options is always zero. This can be used to test if the shell supports
-dynamic loading of modules or not.
+Note that tt(zsh) makes no difference between modules that were linked 
+into the shell and modules that are loaded dynamically. In both cases
+this builtin command has to be used to make available the builtins and
+other things defined by modules (unless the module is autoloaded on
+these definitions). This is even true for systems that don't support
+dynamic loading of modules.
