in these form it can be gracefully tested:

	[ $(zmodload zsh/termcap) ]
but if tested in a sublist the shell still dies:
	zmodload zsh/termcap && echo $?

===============

on second thought, no. apparently the "zmodload zsh/termcap" doesn'treturn a 1, it dies and causes the shell to return a 1 (in addition to mysyntax, above, being just plain wrong).


this seems to work on a command line:
	if $(zsh -c "zmodload zsh/termcap")
	then
	    zmodload zsh/termcap
	fi

but it's giving me trouble in a zshrc... need rest...
