I would like to know if the alternate forms for complex commands
(cf. zshmisc) are really deprecated as mentionned, and if they are
really supposed to be removed some day.

Deprecated ? but why ? i always thought that the stoneage syntax will bedeprecated some day!

I think that modern syntax is a simple feature that makes zsh faster touse than any other shell. coming from bash, i was very impressed to write


for f ( *.jpg ) mv $f $f:r.jpeg

instead of

for f in *.jpg; do mv $f $f:r.jpeg; done

I'm currious about how many of us are using the deprecated syntax. Socurious that i wrote a poll page to know about it
