Very cool. I never thought of that, but it's really nice. My RPROMPT
is now a different color, which makes it obvious that it's not part of
the normal terminal text. I can still cut and paste it, though.

Of course, we've just barely touched on the cool things that zsh can
do. I think it's well worth a look to anyone who hasn't.
