Subject: Why does {..} expansion using 'bindkey' quoting, but {,} and BRACE_CCL don't quote at all?
Date: Wed, 4 Aug 2021 10:04:56 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAHLkEDsib=h6_44ZO0CBC-XxbbPi7Wvypi8JKwaRa1uS9uK__w@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

For example:

% print -r -- ${(q+):-{$'\C-['..$'\C-]'}}
'^[' '^\' '^]'
% print -r -- ${(q+):-{$'\C-[',$'\C-]'}}
$'\C-[' $'\C-]'
% setopt braceccl
% print -r -- ${(q+):-{$'\C-['-$'\C-]'}}
$'\C-[' $'\C-\' $'\C-]'
%

Is there a reason for this inconsistency? Why not always produce
quoted or unquoted output?

Also, why bindkey-style quoting? Wouldn't ${(q+)}-style quoting be
more convenient, since it's more straightforward to "unquote"?
