In plain unmodified hzoli10.3 the unadorned backslash does exactly that.
$ ./zsh -fc 'echo $ZSH_VERSION
array=(a b c d e)
echo $array:s/\/\&-\&/
'
2.6-beta10-hzoli10.3
a-a b-b c-c d-d e-e
$
Is this just another undocumented feature? Since there's no real need
to escape the delimiter--just choose a different one--the backslash
seems one of the best choices to denote "substitute whole string/ele-
ments of array" to me.
Sincere apologies for my GNUisms breaking hzoli10.2.
Please forgive me.
Thorsten
BTW it is "substitution", isn't it?
