I see. Apparently those are in zsh-users, not oh-my-zsh.

oh-my-zsh is an unnecessary "config framework" that includes all the things already.

Amen. The only thing oh-my-zsh adds is convenience, which is bought with awful performance. Even without any plugins activated, startup time of the oh-my-zsh--zsh takes forever. Better use a homegrown .zshrc, with a simple plugin manager like antibody[1].
