Customize Prezto Without Forking Or Touching Prezto #456

I'd like to customize Prezto without forking the project or touching any projects files. This way, upgrading is a simple pull. oh-my-zsh can be customized; YADR can be customized. Lets bring this to Prezto!

This has been discussed in YADR. I don't remember the issue no.

Outside of Git customisation always leads to breakage. I've seen it in OMZ. Upgrading is never a simple pull.

Prezto has been, is, and will continue to be managed via Git.

@sorin-ionescu Thanks for the explanation, and I really appreciate all your hard work with Prezto!

Why don't use something like thoughtbot dotfiles? If a .local file exists load it. Users can put customizations in these files and leave untouched the others.
