} When I set path as an array, the value is reflected in the uppercase PATH

} $ echo $PATH

} However, this doesn't work for (most) other variables
PATH and path are "special" variables which zsh handles internally. The
same is true of FPATH/fpath and a couple of others.
There's no facility for linking an arbitrary pair of variables this way
in any released version of zsh. This linking feature was added very
recently by a patch to the 3.1.x development version of zsh, but AFAIK
that version has never been ported to Windows.
