Actually, it's fine when you *set* it beforehand, and you would
generally want to set it beforehand as in:

zsh -c 'ERRNO=0; /; echo $ERRNO'

or otherwise you wouldn't know what system call the $ERRNO you'd
get is from.

So it's just a documentation issue: the doc should say that
ERRNO should be set (declaring it is not enough) before use.
