This seems to work:

   alias rap=' noglob _rap'
   function _rap ()
   {

   print -S "rap $* ; echo $HOST"
   ...
   ...

Leading space keeps the command out of history as usual, then I just 
replace it with the massaged version.  On recall:


    $ rap ,N libreoffice ; echo HP-b6--9-Debian2

... so the $HOST information is harmless on re-execution but I have my 
reminder  as to which clone I was running at the time.

Sound?
