Worth noting it doesn't localize $mbegin and $mend. Also, it uses local not local -a for $match, which is a minor thing.

I'm little not current with regex match variables, so not sure what you mean by "=~" variables, and why not localize non-BASH_REMATCH variables too (or if it's that Zsh code doesn't use them, then it's ok for me, logical to not localize them).
