FWIW, I imagine a simpler way might be, rather than implementing
read-only as an attribute of variables themselves, to keep a separate
table of variable names marked as read-only which is checked against
upon variable assignment.

I know absolutely nothing about the zsh codebase, so feel free to laugh
at my suggestion. My interest is in getting the most out of
cross-platform shell programming, and I'm really only here to report a bug.

Many thanks for the patch. I'll apply it, test it, and report back.

(Also, my apologies for the initial duplicate. I thought it hadn't gone
through the first time.)
