+1 (concept): I think invalid flag combinations should result in
errors, but I haven't reviewed the patch in detail.

Should -p be in this set too?

In retrospect it might've been better to have a single '-x foo' output
that could be '-x zle_buffer_stack', '-x parameter=foo' (sets $foo), '-x
history', etc..  (Or, come to think of it, all these should have been
exposed as things that can be |ed or >ed to, so that other things beside
'print' could write to them.)  But that train has left the station :-(
