Intended to be used like this:

myfn() { : do whatever myfn does }
alias myfn='_fn2hist myfn'
Cool.  Only thing is that when you pop it out of history it contains the '_fn2hist' as well as the subsequent command.  This could obviate all my " alias g='noglob _g' " stuff. Can the function and its tail be saved to a variable instead of to history?  Mind I'm being lazy I'm sure I can figure that out easy enough. Seems '(qq)' is our friend there for keeping things unexpanded.
