Thanks Bart for confirming that.
What about changing it to something like:
diff --git a/Doc/Zsh/options.yo b/Doc/Zsh/options.yo
index 25b3d57..7677f73 100644
--- a/Doc/Zsh/options.yo

pindex(NO_TRAPS_ASYNC)
A reference to $IFS may also be useful. Is it possible to add
references to index entries in yodl?
(I only include the >, >>, < redirections, that's missing the
clobber variants and the >& >>&... Not sure how to express it
without making it too wordy).
Not sure it's worth mentioning:
$var() function-definition
as a context where shwordsplit happens.
