That's what $'...' does, but you can't ask for a C string and for
variable interpolation at the same time.  Well, you can, but it
doesn't really help. ;-)

Maybe this would be easier (in the "should have thought of this before"
category):

    print -s -f '%s' rap "$@" ";" ":" "$HOST"

(Note this doesn't work with -S, which currently is silently ignored if
the -f option is given, but as you already have all the words separated
here there's no reason to re-parse them.)
