Thanks, don't know how could I miss this. I've re-implemented the
feature of tracking what options does a plugin change via $options
diffing. Code is much simpler, result also quite better – user sees
what changed in his environment, not what was done step by step.

Quite clear. Was hoping for some third method of shadowing,
add-zsh-hook and preexec maybe, something like this.
