Well, here's where the exception to that "usually" comes
in.

Yesss. When it's captured as one element I see the newlines
because are all there in the single element! ... it looks split
but it isn't !! So I think I'm getting closer to what I want but
actually I'm further way.
% vvar=("${(@f)"$(<testfile2)"}")
1 /aWorking/Zsh/Source/Wk 0 %
vvar=("${(@f)"$(<testfile2)"}") ; print -l "$vvar[@]"; print
"\n ... and the number of elements is: ..... $#vvar \n Ta-Taaaa

"
one two
three
four
five six seven
eight
... and the number of elements is: ..... 9
Ta-Taaaa :-)
... and that's not as Byzantine as it looks: " (@f) : read:
"include blank lines, and split on newlines (including empty
lines) " ... Yes?
