FPATH blacklist

The $fpath blacklist allows the removal of unused functions from the ZSH $fpath by copying all referenced files (less those on the blacklist) into a special location, and then forcing the $fpath variable to that sole location.

Because of how this works, 88 has to be re-run every time a new file is added to a standard $fpath location (usually after installing software that adds completion scripts).

Reasons to blacklist unused completions and/or functions:

For security purposes.
Tidy up your shell environment.
Resolve conflicts with other software.
Speed (less files for Zsh to parse through).

Additionally, understanding what's available to blacklist unveils what Zsh has to offer, like Tetris!
