counterintuitive behavior of zle_bracketed_paste



Hello,

The README says in section "Incompatibilities between 5.0.8 and 5.1": 
'Now, the new "bracketed paste mode" treats all the pasted text as 
literal characters.  This means, in particular, that a newline is 
simply inserted as a visible newline; you need to hit Return on the 
keyboard to execute the pasted text in one go."

While backeted paste mode is certainly a good thing, this behavior is 
very counterintuitive.  If the last pasted character is a return, the 
command should instead be executed instantly.  Users who do not want to 
execute instantly can simply not paste a return on the last line, as 
before.  Please change zsh accordingly.

Please mail me directly if you reply as I am not subscribed to the list.

Best wishes
Peter
