Although the above binding is useful, don't forget that there are default
bindings for quote-line (ESC ') and quote-region (ESC ").

Other useful bindings, which work only if ctrl-space is still bound to
set-mark-command:

# Quote-arguments -- wraps everything from the cursor back to the start
# of the first argument in quotes, then inserts a space and sets mark
# so that a subsequent call to quote-region quotes the next part.
bindkey -s '^X"' '^@^A\ef\e" ^@'

# Quote-region-and-mark -- quote region, then insert space and mark for
# subsequent calls to quote-region-and-mark.
bindkey -s "^X'" '\e" ^@'
