Sure, your patch is simpler, but, as you say, it does not work if zsh is
installed as /bin/sh (it's possible and sets all the options to be compatible
with /bin/sh, but also leaves the ZSH_VERSION variable set; the original code
and my patch worked OK in that case).

Anyway, your patch is fine for me, I don't use zsh as /bin/sh and, in any
case, the behaviour is much better than before; having no --version or --help
for a shell function library is a lot better than having an unexpected exit.

Thanks a lot,

  Sergio.
