FUNCTION: .zi-any-colorify-as-uspl2 [[[
Returns ANSI-colorified "user/plugin" string, from any supported plugin spec (user---plugin, user/plugin, user plugin, plugin).

$1 - plugin spec (4 formats: user---plugin, user/plugin, user, plugin)
$2 - plugin (only when $1 - i.e. user - given)
$REPLY = ANSI-colorified "user/plugin" string

FUNCTION: .zi-check-module. [[[
Check module. Don't trust access times and verify hard stored values.

FUNCTION: .zi-compute-ice [[[
Computes ICE array (default, it can be specified via $3) from a) input ICE, b) static ice, c) saved ice,
taking priorities into account. Also returns path to snippet directory and optional name of snippet file
(only valid if ICE[svn] is not set).

Can also pack resulting ices into ZI_SICE (see $2).

$1 - URL (also plugin-spec)
$2 - "pack" or "nopack" or "pack-nf" - packing means ICE
wins with static ice; "pack-nf" means that disk-ices will
be ignored (no-file?)
$3 - name of output associative array, "ICE" is the default
$4 - name of output string parameter, to hold path to directory ("local_dir")
$5 - name of output string parameter, to hold filename ("filename")
$6 - name of output string parameter, to hold is-snippet 0/1-bool ("is_snippet")

FUNCTION: .zi-countdown [[[
Displays a countdown 5...4... etc. and returns 0 if it
sucessfully reaches 0, or 1 if Ctrl-C will be pressed.

FUNCTION: .zi-exists-physically [[[
Checks if directory of given plugin exists in PLUGIN_DIR.

Testable.

$1 - plugin spec (4 formats: user---plugin, user/plugin, user, plugin)
$2 - plugin (only when $1 - i.e. user - given)

FUNCTION: .zi-exists-physically-message [[[
Checks if directory of given plugin exists in PLUGIN_DIR, and outputs error message if it doesn't.

Testable.

$1 - plugin spec (4 formats: user---plugin, user/plugin, user, plugin)
$2 - plugin (only when $1 - i.e. user - given)

FUNCTION: .zi-first [[[
Finds the main file of plugin. There are multiple file name formats, they are ordered in order starting from more correct
ones, and matched. .zi-load-plugin() has similar code parts and doesn't call .zi-first() – for performance. Obscure matching
is done in .zi-find-other-matches, here and in .zi-load(). Obscure = non-standard main-file naming convention.

$1 - plugin spec (4 formats: user---plugin, user/plugin, user, plugin)
$2 - plugin (only when $1 - i.e. user - given)

FUNCTION: .zi-store-ices [[[
Saves ice mods in given hash onto disk.

$1 - directory where to create / delete files
$2 - name of hash that holds values
$3 - additional keys of hash to store, space separated
$4 - additional keys of hash to store, empty-meaningful ices, space separated
$5 - the URL, if applicable
$6 - the mode (1 - svn, 0 - single file), if applicable

FUNCTION: .zi-two-paths [[[
Obtains a snippet URL without specification if it is an SVN URL (points to directory) or regular URL (points to file),
returns 2 possible paths for further examination

function zmv {
zmv, zcp, zln:

This is a multiple move based on zsh pattern matching.  To get the full
power of it, you need a postgraduate degree in zsh.  However, simple
tasks work OK, so if that's all you need, here are some basic examples:
zmv '(*).txt' '$1.lis'
Rename foo.txt to foo.lis, etc.  The parenthesis is the thing that
gets replaced by the $1 (not the `*', as happens in mmv, and note the
`$', not `=', so that you need to quote both words).
