prompt and prompt_cr option



Hello,

I have run into the problem several times of having lines of output in the shell that don't have a newline and having the prompt overwrite them.  I did find the `setopt nopromptcr` solution but I also like having multiline editing always work correctly.  I thought that I would try and solve both problems with the following:

setopt nopromptcr
prompt='%(1l,\n,)%! %n@%m %0~ > '

but that didn't seem to do the trick.  Is there a way to force zsh to check to see if the last character that was printed was a newline and if it wasn't to just print one before it issues the carriage return?
