I might have chosen a single two-valued array and require it to either
be empty or to have two values (whether "exactly" or "at least" is less
important) so that it's harder e.g. to accidentally begin bracketed paste
mode and never exit from it.

Mostly, variables only need to be special when they have a custom GSU
structure, e.g., ZLE_RROMPT_INDENT keeps the internal rprompt_indent
value updated because it's accessed frequently (so calling getsparam()
is too inefficient), so it is special.
