e subscript flag

e subscript flag

[Mikael Magnusson]

I noticed that e is not offered on $a[( tabcompletion, so here's a
patch for that, and this section in the man page:

  To match the value of a parameter literally in a reverse subscript,
rather than as a  pat-
  tern, use `${(q)name}' (see zshexpn(1)) to quote the expanded value.

Would it be better to offer [(e)$name] here? (or both)
