Re: separating functions, fpath, and autoload

In more words:

'autoload foo' marks 'foo' as the name of a function that will be
instantiated upon the first call to it.  After calling foo, you'll
see the actual definition of foo: 'autoload foo; foo; which foo'.
You can pass +X to 'autoload' to load the function immediately
(before it's called).

More below.

Another way:

fpath=( $ZDOTDIR/functions(N) $fpath )

or even

fpath[1,0]=( $ZDOTDIR/functions(N) )

then you don't need an if.
