But you don't say
compiler -build something source/*
compiler -load something
Rather, you build, and then you install, and then you run, and the way
all shells are designed, you use $path to bridge the install + run steps.
Sure, it wasn't to be taken very seriously, I'm just thinking about the
idea that there
could be a sort of symmetry between creating a .zwc and then loading
one--you
could think of them as so related that the command name could be the
same. IOW
the creation of a .zwc presupposes subsequent use of it the same way
that making
dinner supposes eating dinner. Command recall would be easier ... but
that's
never going to happen. I guess the parallel would be 'zip' vs.
'unzip'--we're glad
that the names are related.
As I've pointed out, these are exactly the same as
zcompile /Functions/Functions.zwc /Functions/*
FPATH=/Functions/Functions.zwc autoload +X -w /Functions/Functions.zwc
Although the better practice would be to do
zcompile /Functions.zwc /Functions/*
FPATH=/Functions.zwc autoload +X -w /Functions.zwc
But ... well, let me try it again, I may have busted something.

As I tried to point out, I'm not a very typical user. I would also
never use Sebastian's navigation tools, or anything from oh-my-zsh;
but that doesn't mean anyone else should avoid them.
No, OTOH in my judgment typicality is not of great value whereas decades of
experience is. Not that I have the slightest hesitation in doing things
my own
way, but I always want to know what the Old Masters think even if I
choose to
differ ... until learning better.
