Ah.  Well, then, there's always this:

    zmodload -i zsh/parameter &&
	eval "local +h nameddirs; nameddirs=(${(@kvq)nameddirs})"

That's simulating in shell code what we'd have to write in C in order to
make saving and restoring of the nameddir table possible.

I've thought using parameters for named directories was a bad idea for a
very long time, ever since my csh-junkie hack of `chpwd () { cwd=$PWD }'
started causing `~cwd' to show up in my prompt.  (Guess when autonamedirs
became an option rather than the default behavior.)  At the very least I
think there should be a parameter flag for "this parameter is a nameddir"
checked by unsetparam_pm() and strsetfn() before calling adduserdir().
