} I think we can make the doc of pipefail more clear with this patch:

It might be more clear, but it's less correct.

Given

    setopt pipefail
    ( exit 1 ) | ( exit 2 ) | ( exit 3 ) | ( exit 4 ) | ( exit 0 )

the original doc fully describes that the exit status of the entire
pipeline is 4, whereas your change only states that it is "non-zero".

That part about "the rightmost" that you removed, is important.
