Thanks!

How about extending the documentation of the 'functions' builtin for the
issues mentioned in workers/48147 and its thread?  In a nutshell, the
examples in zshbuiltins(1) under `functions -M` cause the function's
return code to be non-zero when the arithmetic expression evaluates to
zero, which is problematic under «set -e», moreover, simply adding
«return 0» at the end of the function would break it.

The manual's sources are in Doc/Zsh/*.yo in the main repository.  If
it's not clear how to edit and build them, then our developer
documentation may be in need of attention, too ☺

About 300.

Cheers,

Daniel
