While you're at it, any chance you can "fix" redirections following a
function definition?  E.g. per ksh (and possibly per posix) this:

	func() { less } < /etc/termcap

should be equivalent to this:

	func() { { less } < /etc/termcap }

rather than the current zsh equivalent:

	{ func() { less } } < /etc/termcap

Note that:

	func() less < /etc/termcap

is already equivalent to:

	func() { less < /etc/termcap }

so the first case above must be only a small matter of parsing.
