    This is basically a dead issue now, but trying it is exactly what I
    did:
    
    
    % alias X='echo howdy'; Y() { X }
    zsh: defining function based on alias `Y'
    zsh: parse error near `()'
    
    ... but maybe that's not exactly the same thing.  I just noticed the
    same messages.
    
    BTW, interesting that his problem was solved by adding 'function' --
    I though that was always optional, but in this case the parser seems
    to care.
