True, but I think not really relevant, because nobody is (I hope)
going to globally set a strange IFS in their dotfiles and still expect
any normal behavior.

That's because of the historic behavior of the (s::) flag where (f) is
(ps:\n:). But as was pointed out elsewhere if you're not invoking an
external command you can control this from inside the substitution:
% printf '<%s>\n' "${(f@)${ print -nl 'a b' '' 'c d' }}"
<a b>
<>
<c d>
%
Which leans a little in the direction of never trimming rather than of
choosing how many to trim.
It does however reveal a drawback in the quoting proposal, in that
when nesting ${ ... } inside another quoted expansion there would be
no way to disable newline retention.

That would be a useful choice for (T) or some other new flag -- as in,
do NOT "trim" the separator when splitting -- but I don't see how it
helps decide whether to trim trailing newline(s) from ${ cmd } in the
first place, because in the delimiter case you'd want to keep them?
Just for grins ...
