Here's the diff just for "literal" unset, omitting all the
alternatives and omitting the problematic hunk that modified getasg().
I've included a NEWS entry, but have not yet attempted to create an
incompatibilities section for README since it's not clear what the
next zsh version number will be.

-----------------
+When unsetting a hash element, the string enclosed in square brackets is
+interpreted literally after any normal command-line-argument expansions.
+Thus
+ unset "hash[$key]"
+first expands $key as usual for a double-quoted string, and then interprets
+that result as the exact hash element to unset. This differs from previous
+versions of the shell, which would also remove a leading backslash for an
+unusual subset of characters in the expansion of $key. Note this also
+means, for example, that
+ unset 'hash[ab]cd]'
+unsets the element with key "ab]cd" rather than silently doing nothing.

The function command learnt a -T option to declare a function and enable
tracing for it simultaneously.
