Can this be implemented for zsh with a plugin? #81

Hey! I'm wondering if it's possible to implement the zsh part using a zsh plugin (with ZLE widgets) instead of patching zsh. The advantage would be that it will be easier to experiment with code changes on the ZSH side (no need to compile ZSH), easier to update to newer zsh versions, and it would possibly be easier to make it work well with other ZLE widgets.

What do you think?

I feel like this would be worth pursuing. It would go a long way to making it easier to convince users to try Athame. What would Athame need from the plugin API for this to work?
