Looks like short option list to me.

% zsh -f
% echo ${-}
569XZfims
% setopt rcs; echo ${-}
569XZims
% setopt norcs; echo ${-}
569XZfims

Src/options.c or the manual has a list.

I think this should be an error.  This was never documented behaviour and
most forms of bad parameter syntax produce complaints.

Yep. The same as for the other special parameters (`${$foo}').
Shouldn't we change this to be an error? Or do we really need this for 
compatibility?
