And that's _without_ bash emulation.
BTW. That code didn't work for me in bash (though it did in zsh), I
had to add a semicolon:
bar () { echo "frotz nitfol xyzzy" ;}

That's not the problem, the problem is that this doesn't work in zsh:
array="a b c"
for i in $array; do
echo $i
done
The result is "a b c". Unless sh emulation is on. This is the correct
way in zsh:
array="a b c"
for i in ${=array}; do
echo $i
done
But this behavior can be controlled with SH_WORD_SPLIT.
Anyway, as I said, the problem is that the ':' have some problems, and
sh emulation seems to be turned off inside such command, or at least
SH_WORD_SPLIT was reset in my tests.
