}     aha. those ampersands substitute the pattern. i'm now looking for a

Double the backslashes:

schaefer[524] echo foo
foo
schaefer[525] ^echo^print foo \\&\\& bar
print foo && bar foo
foo
zsh: command not found: bar

This is a bug, sort of ... ^x^y is rewritten as !!:s^x^y and re-evaluated,
which causes an extra level of history-backslashes to be stripped.
