Subject: zsh: Remove ‘/’, ‘-’, and ‘)’ from wordchars

The ‘WORDCHARS’ variable defines which characters that aren't letters are to be
part of a word. I'm removing these so commands like delete-word won't gobble up
these characters as well. This is bringing the function closer to what I expect
from Emacs.

 Use rlwrap on some less-than-pleasant REPLs that don't have GNU Readline-like features themselves.
