+# function zmv {
+# zmv, zcp, zln:
+#
+# This is a multiple move based on zsh pattern matching.  To get the full
+# power of it, you need a postgraduate degree in zsh.  However, simple
+# tasks work OK, so if that's all you need, here are some basic examples:
+#   zmv '(*).txt' '$1.lis'
+# Rename foo.txt to foo.lis, etc.  The parenthesis is the thing that
+# gets replaced by the $1 (not the `*', as happens in mmv, and note the
+# `$', not `=', so that you need to quote both words).
+#   zmv '(**/)(*).txt '$1$2.lis'
+# The same, but scanning through subdirectories.  The $1 becomes the full
+# path.  Note that you need to write it like this; you can't get away with
+# '(**/*).txt'.
+#   zmv -w '**/*.txt' '$1$2.lis'
+# This is the lazy version of the one above; zsh picks out the patterns
+# for you.  The catch here is that you don't need the / in the replacement
+# pattern.  (It's not really a catch, since $1 can be empty.)
+#   zmv -C '**/(*).txt' ~/save/'$1'.lis
+# Copy, instead of move, all .txt files in subdirectories to .lis files
+# in the single directory `~/save'.  Note that the ~ was not quoted.
+# You can test things safely by using the `-n' (no, not now) option.
+# Clashes, where multiple files are renamed or copied to the same one, are
+# picked up.
+#
+# Here's a more detailed description.
+#
+# Use zsh pattern matching to move, copy or link files, depending on
+# the last two characters of the function name.  The general syntax is
+#   zmv '<inpat>' '<outstring>'
+# <inpat> is a globbing pattern, so it should be quoted to prevent it from
+# immediate expansion, while <outstring> is a string that will be
+# re-evaluated and hence may contain parameter substitutions, which should
+# also be quoted.  Each set of parentheses in <inpat> (apart from those
+# around glob qualifiers, if you use the -Q option, and globbing flags) may
+# be referred to by a positional parameter in <outstring>, i.e. the first
+# (...) matched is given by $1, and so on.  For example,
+#   zmv '([a-z])(*).txt' '${(C)1}$2.txt'
+# renames algernon.txt to Algernon.txt, boris.txt to Boris.txt and so on.
+# The original file matched can be referred to as $f in the second
+# argument; accidental or deliberate use of other parameters is at owner's
+# risk and is not covered by the (non-existent) guarantee.
+#
+# As usual in zsh, /'s don't work inside parentheses.  There is a special
+# case for (**/) and (***/):  these have the expected effect that the
+# entire relevant path will be substituted by the appropriate positional
+# parameter.
+#
+# There is a shortcut avoiding the use of parenthesis with the option -w
+# (with wildcards), which picks out any expressions `*', `?', `<range>'
+# (<->, <1-10>, etc.), `[...]', possibly followed by `#'s, `**/', `***/', and
+# automatically parenthesises them. (You should quote any ['s or ]'s which
+# appear inside [...] and which do not come from ranges of the form
+# `[:alpha:]'.)  So for example, in
+#    zmv -w '[[:upper:]]*' '${(L)1}$2'
+# the $1 refers to the expression `[[:upper:]]' and the $2 refers to
+# `*'. Thus this finds any file with an upper case first character and
+# renames it to one with a lowercase first character.  Note that any
+# existing parentheses are active, too, so you must count accordingly.
+# Furthermore, an expression like '(?)' will be rewritten as '((?))' --- in
+# other words, parenthesising of wildcards is independent of any existing
+# parentheses.
+#
+# Any file whose name is not changed by the substitution is simply ignored.
+# Any error --- a substitution resulted in an empty string, two
+# substitutions gave the same result, the destination was an existing
+# regular file and -f was not given --- causes the entire function to abort
+# without doing anything.
+#
+# Options:
+#  -f  force overwriting of destination files.  Not currently passed
+#      down to the mv/cp/ln command due to vagaries of implementations
+#      (but you can use -o-f to do that).
+#  -i  interactive: show each line to be executed and ask the user whether
+#      to execute it.  Y or y will execute it, anything else will skip it.
+#      Note that you just need to type one character.
+#  -n  no execution: print what would happen, but don't do it.
+#  -q  Turn bare glob qualifiers off:  now assumed by default, so this
+#      has no effect.
+#  -Q  Force bare glob qualifiers on.  Don't turn this on unless you are
+#      actually using glob qualifiers in a pattern (see below).
+#  -s  symbolic, passed down to ln; only works with zln or z?? -L.
+#  -v  verbose: print line as it's being executed.
+#  -o <optstring>
+#      <optstring> will be split into words and passed down verbatim
+#      to the cp, ln or mv called to perform the work.  It will probably
+#      begin with a `-'.
+#  -p <program>
+#      Call <program> instead of cp, ln or mv.  Whatever it does, it should
+#      at least understand the form '<program> -- <oldname> <newname>',
+#      where <oldname> and <newname> are filenames generated.
+#  -w  Pick out wildcard parts of the pattern, as described above, and
+#      implicitly add parentheses for referring to them.
+#  -C
+#  -L
+#  -M  Force cp, ln or mv, respectively, regardless of the name of the
+#      function.
+#
+# Bugs:
+#   Parenthesised expressions can be confused with glob qualifiers, for
+#   example a trailing '(*)' would be treated as a glob qualifier in
+#   ordinary globbing.  This has proved so annoying that glob qualifiers
+#   are now turned off by default.  To force the use of glob qualifiers,
+#   give the flag -Q.
+#
+#   The second argument is re-evaluated in order to expand the parameters,
+#   so quoting may be a bit haphazard.  In particular, a double quote
+#   will need an extra level of quoting.
+#
+#   The pattern is always treated as an extendedglob pattern.  This
+#   can also be interpreted as a feature.
+#
+# Unbugs:
+#   You don't need braces around the 1 in expressions like '$1t' as
+#   non-positional parameters may not start with a number, although
+#   paranoiacs like the author will probably put them there anyway.
