The bit you quote is a reference to the details of the patch, which you
can ignore unless you're particularly interested in the implementation.

What I should have said but didn't was, here's a new function called
replace-argument that does that.  That was in the body of the patch, but
unless you're programmed to look at zsh code patches when a new message
arrives you wouldn't notice.

I'll commit it when I have a couple of minutes spare.
