ksh93 has many powerful features for scripts. I admit that for scripts
sometime ksh93 may be better than zsh. But after the zsh-3.0 we can add
the missing features. I have already made some experiments with dynamic
loading. It is very easy to implement is on elf systems. What I do not
know yet is the best interface to modules. Mudules will certainly appear
after zsh-3.0 is out.
