gnu-utils

Allow to use an alternate set of coreutils (GNU coreutils).

On some systems, such as Mac OS, the coreutils installed aren't the gnu-coreutils.
In this case it's possible to install GNU coreutils, allowing to access to GNU coreutils commands with a different prefix (ie: gls for ls).

Some installers create, during the installation of GNU coreutils, an alternative folder containing the same commands with a "vanilla name" (actually ls). This allows to add the said folder to PATH.
This solution can be a problem if you only want the GNU coreutils commands inside your zsh session (and you want to run scripts that still use the original coreutils).
The gnu-utils plugin takes care of that by "hashing" the commands instead of adding them to the PATH.
