I checked and this works. Even just using 'print -qn' works.

Questions:
1. Is "${(qq):-$ln} equivalent to "${(qq)ln} ?2. Does the read command needs '-r' ?3. Does using eval creates the risk of arbitrary execution of code?

A similar change needs to be applied a bit later, I think:

                (*)
                    # Return target and description
-                    print -n "'$ln' "
+                    print -rn -- "${(qq):-$ln} "
                ;;

If this seems OK I'll prepare a proper patch.

Agreed.
