zagzig% x="$(<config.h)"
zagzig% y=( ${(f)"$(<config.h)"} )
zagzig% echo $#y
423
zagzig% z=( ${(f)"${x}"} )
zagzig% echo $#z
423
So far so good.
zagzig% z=( ${(f)"$x"} )
zagzig% echo $#z
1
zagzig% echo $z
8769
Eh? Where did THAT come from? Oh, 8679 is $$, so that latter is being
parsed as ${(f)$} ... the x is ignored. That was sort of understandable
when you couldn't use quotes there, but with the quotes it's confusing.
