Hello, I have something like
a=('aa bb' 'cc dd');

and I would like to get the quoted representation inside a string, so that

echo -e $b
'aa bb' 'cc dd'

or that

typeset -p b
gives
'''aa bb'' ''cc dd'''

I tried with

a=(sa\ bb cc\ dd); b="${(q+)a[@]}"; typeset -p b
typeset b='''sa bb cc dd'''

and other inconclusive variations
