Description

Language
A short description of the language.

zsh is a command line shell similar to bash, which has replaced bash as the default shell on macOS, it'd be great to be able to get highlighting for it precisely, instead of just using bash as a language for the highlighting.

Additional resources
E.g. The official website, documentation or language specification.
