Re: xargs with functions

Axel,
But zsh's zargs seems to support functions (but not aliases). Try this: % autoload -U zargs % zargs -- * -- l ,s 

Not too shabby! This worked:

    $zargs -- `ls -1` -- l ,s

'piped' output of  'ls -1' to my function 'l'.
But this is what I've done previously:


     $l ,s `ls -1`
... which is more compact. Is there any reason to prefer zargs? Perhaps it can swallow 
more complex input?
