That has to be good.  Self-contained and modular, no threads running here and there. 


Zsh from zsh-bin cannot load user-defined compiled modules. There
   no way to guarantee that user-defined modules have been linked
   with the same libc as `zsh`, so it's unsafe to load them. This
   limitation likely cannot be removed.


What are the consequences of this for an ordinary user?
