It is possible to do
if [[ -n ${ZSH_VERSION-} ]]; then
alias __git_local="typeset -h"
else
alias __git_local=local
fi
but let's consider that for a moment.
1. It's ugly (it means completion code would use a dialect where the
ordinary "local" keyword has to be spelled differently).
2. It's ugly (use of aliases in scripts sets off alarm bells. As
Almquist's sh manual says:
Aliases provide a convenient way for naÃve users to create
shorthands for commands without having to learn how to create
functions with arguments. They can also be used to create
lexically obscure code. This use is discouraged.)
3. It's fragile (maybe some day a function from zsh's completion
library that we call will look at $words and get utterly confused).
I don't mean to sound so negative; actually I am very happy to see us
getting closer to a full understanding of the problem and relevant
constraints.
