I'm just running zsh, defining like 4 very very small functions, like 25
aliases, like 15 completions using compctl, various options set (but not
ALLEXPORT). I'm using vi keybindings, adding like 5 of my own, and not
using anything like zed or any other modules. Never do I use a
here-documents.
Even running zsh -f with no /etc/zshenv existent, will give me a shell
significantly larger than a bash.
