This repo README may be helpful to people who are new to Z shell, and want to know the load order, and what's good to put in each file.

I'm the repo maintainer and I welcome constructive feedback.

Oh, a thought occurs to me:

With the rules being set out for "put this but not that" into `.zshenv` and other files, would it be possible to write a linter or checking tool to help enforce good style on those files?

Just to let you know that I'm forwarding this around to a bunch of folks I know and/or work with, to help them get to grips with `zsh` due to Catalina upgrades.

Thank you for writing this, it's seriously good stuff and I've learned things despite using zsh for several years now.
