Yep. The same as for the other special parameters (`${$foo}').
Shouldn't we change this to be an error? Or do we really need this for 
compatibility?

I think this should be an error.  This was never documented behaviour and
most forms of bad parameter syntax produce complaints.

Is this correct?  All the parameter tests still seem to work.  The first
hunk simply removes an unneeded local variable.  The change already picked
up an extraneous closing brace in _vars_eq, which is also patched.

Looks like short option list to me.

% zsh -f

569XZfims
% setopt rcs; echo ${-}
569XZims

569XZfims

Src/options.c or the manual has a list.
