So what in zsh makes it not posix, and makes bash posix?  I have seen
shell scripts that were supposed to be posix shell scripts fail on bash3
while working on bash2 and other posix compliant shells.  Never did try
those scripts on zsh.

I always thought of zsh as a superset of bash and bash as a superset of
sh.
