	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!

	Yeah, the more you scratch, the greater the itch.
