Some of the FAQ seems to be out of date.
\!*:q "$@" ($*:q doesn't work (yet))
\!*:x $=* ($*:x doesn't work (yet))
They do work now, don't they? Also:

sect(What's the latest version?)
- Zsh 3.0.5 is the latest production version, however a test version of
- 3.0.6 is doing the rounds and should be released soon. The new major
- number 3.0 largely reflects the considerable internal changes in zsh to
- make it more reliable, consistent and (where possible) compatible. Those
- planning on upgrading their zsh installation should take a look at the
- list of incompatibilities at the end of link(5.1)(51). This is longer
- than usual due to enhanced sh, ksh and POSIX compatibility.

${*:q} does, but ${*:x} gives
zsh: unrecognized modifier `x'
although it's not mentioned in the manual that it doesn't work.
