readable when installing the handler. The user must make their own
arrangements for handling the file descriptor when zle is not active.
+If the option tt(-w) is also given, the var(handler) is instead a
+line editor widget, typically a shell function made into a widget using
+tt(zle -N). In that case var(handler) can use all the facilities of
+zle to update the current editing line. Note, however, that as handling
+var(fd) takes place at a low level changes to the display will not

Any number of handlers for any number of readable file descriptors may be
installed. Installing a handler for an var(fd) which is already handled
causes the existing handler to be replaced.
