- Yes, there is an unusual paradox to 'features' vs lack of them.
- On the one hand, you have zsh with features from hell which you can spend
- an eternity setting to a level you are comfortable with; and on the other
- is rc which you can spend an eternity writing scripts to establish
- 'features' to a level you are comfortable with.
- Or, you could just leave well enough alone and get back to work!
