In a sense, you've been using it all along. Given an array "arr",
$arr is the same as $arr[*] (by default), which is why double-quoting
it produces a single word.
% arr=(a '' b 'c d' '' e)
% printf '<%s>' $arr; echo
<a><b><c d><e>
% printf '<%s>' $arr[*]; echo
<a><b><c d><e>
% printf '<%s>' $arr[@]; echo
<a><b><c d><e>
% printf '<%s>' ${(@)arr}; echo
<a><b><c d><e>
% printf '<%s>' "$arr"; echo
<a b c d e>
% printf '<%s>' "$arr[*]"; echo
<a b c d e>
% printf '<%s>' "$arr[@]"; echo
<a><><b><c d><><e>
% printf '<%s>' "${(@)arr}"; echo
<a><><b><c d><><e>
