Playing with that running this script (test):
autoload zargs
xzargs() { zargs -t -- "${(f)$(read -d '' -E)}" -- "$@" }
function el ()
{
echo howdy
}
vvar=( 'mnt' 'rap' )
print -l "$vvar" | xzargs el
------------------------------------------
$ . test
xzargs: bad math expression: operator expected at `rap'
el mnt rap
howdy
... It works fine with a single literal input or a single string
variable but I'd want to be throwing large numbers of lines at this. I
know the receiving function might have to be feed them one at a time,
which is easy, but I can't get zargs to swallow more than one string.
