Currently planned text in /usr/share/doc/zsh/NEWS.Debian.gz: zsh (5.4.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium Zsh version 5.4.1 introduced a change which doesn't allow aliases and functions of the same name by default: > commit bb218704d27bcca9aa4426296dcd5c13d58b330a > Author: Peter Stephenson <p.w.stephen...@ntlworld.com> > Date: Tue Jan 10 19:14:26 2017 +0000 > > 40306 with doc tweaks: Change behaviour expanding alias in () > function definition. > > Now an error unless the () is part of the same error as the name. > Add ALIAS_FUNC_DEF option to allow it again.
