They 'prevent' ...  What would not be prevented if there were only four 
colons?  What
else would be prevented if there were six?  ten?  How do we know what is 
being prevented?
I normally think of code giving instructions to 'do' something. Here 
it's telling zsh *not*
to do something, but not what it is that it shouldn't do?  I am only 
mortal, this is for the Gods.
