With echo, you mean --- I don't think this has got anything to do
with string slices.
Correct, this is documented as very long-standing behaviour.
Note that for standards compliance a double dash does not termi-
nate option processing; instead, it is printed directly. How-
ever, a single dash does terminate option processing, so the
first dash, possibly following options, is not printed, but
everything following it is printed as an argument. The single
dash behaviour is different from other shells. For a more por-
table way of printing text, see printf, and for a more control-
lable way of printing text within zsh, see print.
