Re: let's set the positional parameters with a simple 'read'

[jidanni]

Hmmm, as S. CHAZELAS said seems zsh also gives one a chance to reset an
arbitrary positional parameter, e.g., the 42nd, whereas in bash one must
set them all at once:
$ set `seq 55`
$ echo $42
42
$ echo $66
66
:-)
Anyway isn't it rather old fashioned not to be able to somehow reset
${42} without needing to tamper with the rest?
