Ah, one more thing:
input=( ${(f)"$(<~/.dirstack)"} )
... as Bart showed, works fine, however the function that does the sorting and compressing I like available for other things, so I want to be able to use an argument there. While I was using the 'single line' version, like this:input=(${=@}) ... and the function itself called like this: compress_function `cat ~/.dirstack`

Therewego:
compress_function `cat ~/.dirstack`
... is moronic.
compress_function ~/.dirstack
...to pass the filename, and:
input=( ${(f)"$(<$@)"} )
... to grab the contents of the file. I won't say it's simple, but it
sorta makes
sense.
