3 years of coding Zsh



Hello,
past 3 years I have send patches or induce following changes:

- zsh to not be slow because of memory-related patch (commited around 5.0.8),
- zsh to not allocate ~2000 MB or similar memory,
- sched never misses an event,
- recursive-edit doesn't go inconsistent state,
- zcurses supports 256 colors and color "default", does'nt blink
colors randomly,
- optimization that makes array+=( ) cost-less, plus multiple (4 or
more) other optimizations,
- optimization of Zsh execution (ecstrcode to use hasher),
- uplift of GDBM module,
- zsystem flock doesn't leak descriptors,
- zsystem flock can have 0-timeout
- patterns correctly match [^ax-y],
- sourcing doesn't call sigprocmask every byte – x2 faster zsh startup.

I've would enumerate more (e.g. debugged a pattern segfault), but I've
in general lost track of my patches and/or emails.

3152 commits to Zsh projects in one year, other year 2737 commits, 7.5
commits per day. It's like if some corporation hired me to work on
open source project. That's why I thought, maybe someone would support
me via patreon (https://www.patreon.com/psprint)? I could use the
money to e.g. uplift fast-syntax-highlighting.
