Mac-like command line editing

My ultimate dream feature for a terminal application would be the ability to edit the command line like any text in OS X can be edited. For example moving the cursor between terms by hitting option left-right or option-delete to delete terms.

This could be accomplished by hooking into the zsh shell (which is the best shell bar none).

I'm really busy right now, but I may be able to help a bit with the implementation if there is any interest from the other devs.

PS: I should have mentioned the ability to cut&paste as well.

Terminal.app hot keys for comparison:

(Terminal already implements option-left,right, but no cut as yet)
