Well said. Having to remember that we need to write "$ARGZERO" instead of "$0" is yet another burden to place on developers who want to make changes to the test suite. Is that a big deal? Probably not. But it's a slippery slope, and a weird gotcha to remember when dealing with our otherwise POSIX-y test suite. So I'm not convinced that it's a worthwhile price to pay for zsh support in our test suite. Thanks, Taylor
