      Zsh is a UNIX command interpreter (shell) usable as an interactive login
      shell and as a shell script command processor.  Of the standard shells,
      zsh most closely resembles ksh but includes many enhancements.  Zsh has
      command line editing, builtin spelling correction, programmable command
      completion, shell functions (with autoloading), a history mechanism, and
      a host of other features.
