I am somewhat hesitant to accept a patch to shell scripts on the basis
that the patch author does not understand the existing constructs that
are standard parts of shell idioms.

Avoiding zsh's bug that cannot use conditional assignment on the no-op
colon command (if the bug is really that; it is somewhat hard to imagine
if the bug exists only for colon command, though) *is* by itself a good
justification for this change, even though the resulting code is harder to
read for people who are used to read shell scripts.
