zsh deals with aliases pretty much the same as bash.

tried that before aliasing it -- i didn't know you could just specify
a variable setting for a single command, that's cool! -- but it
doesn't seem to work.  `LC_ALL=POSIX ls` does, though ... weird.  i
don't know why the individual locale variables don't seem to work.
but i will alias that, and then my problems will be solved.  thanks!
