+# zsh function script to run less on various inputs, decompressing as required.
+# Author: Phil Pennock.  zsh-hacks@athenaeum.demon.co.uk
+# Modified by Bart Schaefer.
+# Thanks to zefram@fysh.org for a great deal of help in sorting this out,
+# ie wrt syntax for unsetting members of arrays and eval "$(...)" when I
+# asked for something better than . =(...)
+#
+# Use -zforce to pass through a display-formatting command
+#  zless -zforce 'bzip2 -dc' foo-no-dotbz2
+#  zless -zforce 'od -hc' foo-binfile

+# If you can understand all of this without reference to zshexpn(1)
+# and zshparam(1) then you either have a photographic memory or you
+# need to get out more.
