Obviously, this is incompatible with the POSIX-style trap usage.


f1() {
  f2() {
    trap 'trap '\''print Was in $lastfunc'\'' EXIT' EXIT 
    lastfunc=f2
  }
  f2
  lastfunc=f1
}


You can neaten this with a bit of variable syntax...


1() {
  f2() {
    local -a trap=(trap 'print Was in $lastfunc' EXIT)
    trap=(${(q)trap})
    trap "$trap" EXIT
    lastfunc=f2
  }
  f2
  lastfunc=f1
}
