I wanted to try if you could use anonymous functions somehow to shorten
it a bit (probably not), but I encountered this
% function foo() { } hello syntax error
zsh: correct 'hello' to 'bell' [nyae]? a
zsh: parse error near `hello'
%

There is probably some explanation for why this is so, like there is for why
I have to use my mouse to cut and paste when there's a syntax error involving
some internal keywords, but maybe it's a simple bug that can be fixed? (hah)
