+# This set of functions implements a sort of magic history searching.
+# After predict-on, typing characters causes the editor to look backward
+# in the history for the first line beginning with what you have typed
+# so far.  After predict-off, editing returns to normal for the line found.
+# In fact, you often don't even need to use predict-off, because if the
+# line doesn't match something in the history, adding a key at the end
+# behaves as normal --- though editing in the middle is liable to delete
+# the rest of the line.
+#
+# To use it:
+#   autoload -U predict-on
+#   zle -N predict-on
+#   zle -N predict-off
+#   bindkey '...' predict-on
+#   bindkey '...' predict-off
+# Note that all the functions are defined when you first call type the
+# predict-on key, which means typing the predict-off key before that gives
+# a harmless error message.
