Micronit: aren't all "zsh emulation mode"s above "zsh native mode"s?

In any case, the above explanation confuses me somewhat.  test_eval_
is fed a scriptlet defined for various test_expect_success tests,
and they are written in POSIX shells, not zsh, so wouldn't it be
wrong to run them as if they are zsh native scripts, following
non-POSIX shell syntax rules?

Puzzled...
