Typing away merrily, Peter Stephenson produced the immortal words:

Oh good. That's two things that I've gotten right lately. Maybe I can
keep up the winning streak.

How about a parenthesised paragraph, along the lines of:
( If you want a simple life, skip this paragraph. As an example of the
power of zsh expansion, $==* is $* with shwordsplit explicitly turned
off for that one expansion, whilst $=* explicitly turns shwordsplit
on, effectively acting like the Bourne shell's $* )
but reworded to be clearer. I'm not good at prose.
