Hi Isaac, 

Nice to hear from you! It was actually you and me, together with Benny 
Cherniavsky, who filed the feature request at bug-bash. 


I guess ZSH is still slower than Bash, but speed and RAM should be less 
important now than it was in the old days. 


Well, I don't know how fast you type... 

Best wishes, 

Guido

Gaining the trust of online customers is vital for the success of any company
that requires sensitive data to be transmitted over the Web.   Learn how to 
best implement a security strategy that keeps consumers' information secure 
and instills the confidence they need to proceed with transactions.
