I'd like to suggest turning pcre on by default for shells/zsh. This lets us=
ers
use plugins like https://github.com/sunlei/zsh-ssh without recompiling zsh.

A counter argument is that zsh's PCRE support uses the old, deprecated V1
library. However, the next release of zsh should move to v2 as that code is
already committed. I have no idea when that release will be.

So if not now, maybe on the next release?

I'm quite open to other counter-arguments. Just wanted to start a discussio=
n.

Also happy to contribute a patch if this is acceptable.

Thanks!
