} Funnily enough, `interactive' implies interaction with the user. If you
} want interaction in a shell script, use vared.
The documentation should probably explain that -s and -i are mutually
exclusive and that -i always wins. Given just what's written down, one
would think that
echo 'echo foo ; exec < /dev/tty' | zsh -si
would "do the right thing".

} I'd already considered doing this; history references like "!+1" ought
} to work. Of course, to get commands from future sessions you'll need
} a history file saved on a trfs (temporally reversed filesystem -- the
} media uses positrons instead of electrons).
Something I've been wishing for was a variant of infer-next-history that
would work like this:
If the current command line is either empty or matches "!-1", then search
backwards from "!-2" for another occurrence of the same line, and infer
the event that follows it.
However, at the moment in zsh-3.0.[45], I can't get infer-next-history to
do anything other than beep at me no matter what the current line looks
like nor what's in the history. Is it just me?

} This is a feature. Don't unset PATH if you want it to be available.
Um, what feature is this supposed to be providing? And it shouldn't seg
fault in any case.
