KNOWN BUGS IN ZSH
-----------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------
The pattern %?* matches names beginning with %? instead of names with at
least two characters beginning with %. This is a hack to allow %?foo job
substitution without quoting. This behaviour is incompatible with sh
and ksh and may be removed in the future. A good fix would be to keep
such patterns unchanged if they do not match regardless of the state of
the nonomatch and nullglob options.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is currently impossible to time builtins.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
40106: The comp* completion-related builtins (compadd, compset, etc) are
run with $_comp_options in effect, rather than the user's options.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
users/20807: vcs_info quilt 'addon' mode: hook lookup context specifies
the underlying VCS but not whether quilt is used.

Workaround: test (( ${+funcstack[(r)VCS_INFO_quilt]} )).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
41184: 'exec' optimization for last command in a subshell should be
skipped when STTY=... is set for that command
------------------------------------------------------------------------
41203 and others: Make it easier to maintain C modules out of tree.
(May require defining a stable API for modules, see 41254)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
44007 - Martijn - exit in trap executes rest of function (prints "fn2")
[[[
trap 'echo $1; exit; echo $2' USR1
fn() {
  echo fn1
  kill -USR1 $$
  echo fn2
}
echo out1
fn trap1 trap2
echo out2
]]]
