Thanks for digging that up.

When I look up the definition of ${(X)} or ${foo[(X)]} or ${foo:X} or %X
or *(X) in the manual, I don't always remember whether the string to
grep for is a bare "X" (at the start of the line with whitespace after
it), or X with its "sigil", i.e., "(X)"/":X"/"%x".  The format of that
page solves this problem.

Yeah.  We could add it to the FAQ sources, so it'll be updated in
lockstep with everything else in zsh.git and be updated automatically
upon new releases — but see below.

What's the copyright license of the contents of the original page?
